59
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: got worked one and I was worried. I had that

60
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: event last night at Cannsius College, the Canisius Sports Hall

61
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: of Fame. Tell me about the venue. I was beautiful,

62
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: Montante Center. I don't know if anybody in Buffalo has

63
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: been to that. I've been there church. It is beautiful.

64
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: You know. Cannsius got that building and renovated it and

65
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: repurposed it. Awesome venue. I love that place. Yeah, the

66
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: acoustics seemed good. Everything was cool. And you're the bee

67
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: Line family. Was there a bunch of them? Yeah, I

68
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: said with him at dinner. Had a great time with them,

69
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: John Beeline and the Cannesian Sports Hall of Fame. I

70
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: was the MC. It was great, But I'm worried because

71
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: Tuesdays are a big work night for me, right right,

72
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: you had stuff to do, and I was worried. So

73
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: I laughed as soon as it was over as somebody said.

74
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Somebody caught me and said, oh, you're giving us the

75
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: Irish goodbye, aren't you, which I got the back and

76
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: I did because I wanted to get home. And I

77
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: got home and did my work, and my work includes

78
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: the depth chart, the spotting board for the Patriots. He

79
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: even watched an hour and a half a video or so,

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: so I came in and I watched him too. I

81
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: watched him play well, I'm like Sean McDermott. I just

82
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: threw away the second half. Watched the first half of

83
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 1: a couple of games. So they're deep. Tell me about

84
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: their defense. Yeah, you got the same. Well my observation,

85
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: and I'm not the expert. I don't do this is

86
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: just you and me. Yeah, oh good, Okay, I don't

87
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: do the you know what do they call it? All

88
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: two people get into detailed I'm not qualified to do that.

89
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: But what I noticed was, and it's about the defense.

90
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: Right for New England. We know that we talked about

91
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: that this great defense leader in every not just major category,

92
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: almost every defensive category. There are number one in the

93
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: NFL three games in now you know who they played, right,

94
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: you know who they've beaten to go three and o

95
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: and they're not good teams, the Jets, the Steelers and

96
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, but still to be deleting the league and

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: every to not give up a touchdown on defense yet.

98
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: So you look at the defense, you said, Okay, who's

99
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: the key here? Where's Khalil macow He's not on this defense.

100
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: Where's Aaron Donald, He's not on this defense. Here's the

101
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: impression I got watching the Patriots. Number one, they're very

102
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: well coached, and we got a Sean mcdermot's sound by

103
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: coming up about that. Number two, they're very fast, all

104
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: over the place, all three levels of the defense. They

105
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: run all with the field know where they're going. They

106
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: play a lot of guys. I bet they play twenty

107
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: different players on defense, but everybody seems to know where

108
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: they're going, what they're doing, and they run. And that

109
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: to me is almost the hallmark of what the Patriots

110
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: are doing defensively so far this year, and one of

111
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: the other things that the Patriots are able to do

112
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: because of the continuity and the way that they structure

113
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: their defense. They've got guys who are like if they

114
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: play eleven guys on defense, like they like everybody does,

115
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: they'll have guys on their defense who can switch positions,

116
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: and it really triples the the job of a quarterback

117
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: and the offensive lineman getting their calls as to call

118
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: it what it is or what it's really gonna be,

119
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: because you've got this the same guys you had just

120
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: this last play, they're lined up in a completely different

121
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: formation because this now this guy's over here and this

122
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: guy's over there, and and then you're saying, Okay, well

123
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: it's this defense now, and well they just run the defense.

124
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: They just ran the same defense with two different guys running,

125
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, the same two guys running two different positions,

126
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: they just trade spots and that's really makes it difficult

127
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: to decipher. But it's you imagine how easy it is

128
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: for them. Everybody's just playing the same defense. Yeah, just

129
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: two guys, know, and those two guys practice that during

130
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: the week. They got this call against this formation, let's

131
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: switch places. And how easy it is it is for them,

132
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: But it really elevates the you know, the mental problems

133
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: it creates for an offense. So they got their ability

134
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: to do that. Plus you, as you say, they run

135
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: guys in and out of there like it's Grand Central

136
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: Station and they're fast, but they're really fast. The thing

137
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: that I think is is underrated and you can it's

138
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: starting to happen here too. By the way, the continuity

139
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: the same coaching staff in the Patriots case, you know,

140
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: years and years. Obviously the defensive coach is Belichick. They

141
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: don't have an official defensive coordinator. Gerard Mayo is calling

142
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: a lot of the defensive signals, but you know that

143
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: Belichick's involved in that. But the continuity is huge, and

144
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: by the way, we're starting to see it here right

145
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: the Bills in the third year of their defense, which

146
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: I think is one of the reasons why they're pretty good.

147
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: Patriots aren't what do you want to say that fifteenth

148
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: year of their defense. But Sean McDermot talked about that today.

149
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: He just met with the media about forty five minutes ago,

150
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Bill said, the continuity is

151
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: a big part of what the Patriots are doing this

152
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: year so far on defense. Continuity. I think that's that's

153
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: one of the one of the great advantages that they've had.

154
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: They've been together for a long time, with the staff,

155
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: with the players, UM, they can spend the dial and

156
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: go to things that most teams can't go to because

157
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: they don't have that continuity built up. So if you

158
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: take one thing away, if you do one thing, then

159
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna, you know, find another way to beat you,

160
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: whether it's defensively, offensively or special teams. Um, they're really

161
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: good with all of that. And and so UM you know,

162
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: with with Chung and the way he can match up

163
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: on people, and then with um there are other players

164
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: back there in the quartery um Stefan Gilmore who you

165
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: guys know well, UM, you know, playing at all at

166
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: a high level and playing with a lot of UM,

167
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: a lot of good, you know, really execution wise, they're

168
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: they're executing at a high level as well. I think

169
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: mcdermots is absolutely right, Steve. When we kind of we

170
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: don't think about that, you know, Adam Gays goes to

171
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: the Jets and we're like, oh, there's a new offensive mine,

172
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: a sharp young mind. Offensively, well, that sharp young minds

173
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: got to get a brand new offense installed there and

174
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: get players accustomed to it. When you had the same

175
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: system for years, or in the Patriots case, multiple multiple years,

176
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: it makes a difference. There are the guys who the guys,

177
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: the mccordy brothers, Patrick Chung, Stephen Gilmour now in what

178
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: is third year there, Dante high Tower has been there,

179
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: while Jamie Collins is back. They've got guys who've been

180
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: there for a while. They know what they're doing, they

181
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: know where they're going. They can line up with multiple spots.

182
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: As you said, absolutely, and you think about it's not

183
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: just the players. The coaching staff is all ingrown from within.

184
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: These guys start as these these twenty twenty guys where

185
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: they're making twenty grand, working twenty hours a day for

186
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: a couple of years, right, I mean, that's all they do.

187
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: They sit there and dissect film and they get they

188
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: understand the concepts and the and the way they do things.

189
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: And then they get a different job where they're actually

190
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: on the field watching the coaches and how they do it.

191
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: Then they get a full assistant ship. Then they work

192
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: up higher and their years and years working up through

193
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: the system, like Mat Flores, Brian Flores in Miami. You know,

194
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: they work up through the system so that by the

195
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: time they're actually interacting with players their PhDs in the

196
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: offensive and defensive scheme, they've got the history of it,

197
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: they've got the evolution of it at their fingertips, and

198
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: they've got the techniques that they want their players to

199
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: do and it comes, you know, So that continuity is

200
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: there from the players getting coached by the same almost

201
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: with the same kind of voice, even though it maybe

202
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: a different guy year to year. They're all young, hungry

203
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: guys who who grew up like I always call them mushrooms.

204
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: They get in dark damp rooms with a film projector

205
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: and that's how they grew up. Man. They just they

206
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: just learned the game from the concept standpoint, from the

207
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: players stand for the quality of play, the techniques, the

208
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: concepts going against each other. They turn out to be

209
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: really effective coaches in that system because by the time

210
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: they actually interact with players, you know they're wily veterans,

211
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: even though they may be twenty seven, twenty eight years old.

212
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: So we started out the week on this show Monday

213
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: talking about the Patriots and we were I was stunned.

214
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: I guess to look at the rankings and it's only

215
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: three weeks, but that defense they lead in everything, right,

216
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: number one and overall defense, number one in passing yards against,

217
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: number one in running yards against. The Patriots are number

218
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: one in first downs against number two in sacks all right,

219
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: number one in points scored against them. They lead in everything,

220
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: and we start out their week thinking how the heck

221
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: does that happen? And you look at them, you watch

222
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: them play defense, or you do your depth chart and

223
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: you say, where's Aaron Donald. They don't have him, Where's

224
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. They don't have superstars players on defense, not superstars.

225
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: Maybe Gilmore would be the like it's candidate. They have

226
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: a system that the continuity means a lot. They have

227
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: speed all over the defense. But well, cantinue to talk

228
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: about this this week. What makes that defense so great.

229
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: We got a good lineup of guests, some of them

230
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: are very familiar with the New England Patriots, including coming

231
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: up at the bottom of the hour, Mike Giardi of

232
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: NFL Network covers the Patriots primarily. He is here covering

233
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: the Bills for a couple of days. He'll join this

234
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: in studio coming up at twelve thirty. We'll ask him

235
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: that question, how did they get there? How did they

236
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: get this good? They won't stay number one in every

237
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: category of season. But and it needs to be said,

238
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: their opposition has been awful. Yeah, but here Bills have

239
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: two But the opposition is there's still NFL teams. But

240
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: and you said you turned those watch those games by

241
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: half time You're like, Okay, I've seen enough. Their opposition

242
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,599
Speaker 1: has been terrible the first time. And I understand that

243
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: a couple of their games have been at home, no question,

244
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: and that they're tougher at home. But here's the thing too,

245
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: they did have I made a mistake yesterday. The Pittsburgh

246
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: Steelers did have Ben Roethlisberger the entire first game that

247
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: they played him. Although he's promptly you know, he wasn't

248
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: right with his elbow because the next week it finally

249
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: gave out on him. Nevertheless, those three games that the

250
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: Patriots have played thus far they dominated. It wasn't like

251
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: they they squeaked him out of those team the Jets,

252
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, the Steelers, they were done. They had no

253
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: shot in those games. They were absolutely outclassed, outmanned, and

254
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: it showed so Chan McDermott alluded to it in his

255
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: press conversatility today. You got a really small sample size

256
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: of games that were actually in doubt, where these guys

257
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: were going at one hundred percent and it didn't like

258
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: devolve into a pick six by the Patriots backup quarterback,

259
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, I mean that was a throwaway touchdown nobody

260
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: cared about. And the rest of it is maybe out

261
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: of the three games, you probably got a game and

262
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: a half maybe less. You know, the Dolphins, No, the

263
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: Jets were down twenty to nothing with thirteen forty to

264
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,599
Speaker 1: go in the second quarter, twenty to nothing. So you

265
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: got like, you know, five quarters, you know, five quarters

266
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: of really good football from the Patriots out of three

267
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: games where you can actually look at him and say, Okay,

268
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: the game was really in doubt and that's it. Yeah,

269
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: it's impressive. But it's not overwhelmingly impressive, and that I

270
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: think would be the thing you can hang your hat on.

271
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: For the Buffalo Bills. We'll talk about the Patriots with

272

281
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,240

Speaker 1: conference coming up today as well. So we got a

285
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: lot of ground to cover the update going into practice today.

286
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: No practice for Devin Singletary the motor he is outstill

287
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: with his hamstring. Titan Tyler Craft coming back a week ago,

288
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: got hurt on Thursday. He is gonna be off today

289
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: as well with his ankle. No practice today for linebacker,

290
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: backup linebacker and special team or Corey Thompson. He had

291
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: ankle surgery today. According to Sean McDermott, thompson status is

292
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: week to week according to the coach. Veteran day off

293

Speaker 1: and limited work today for offensive lineman John Feliciano and

296
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: cornerback Taron Johnson. Taron Johnson as a hamstring. So that's

297
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: what we're looking at is the Bills go to practice.

298
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: They are on the practice field right now as we speak,

299
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,440

Speaker 1: from Buffalo Bills dot com in a moment to talk

301
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: about that. We got a Twitter question today. It kind

302
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: of is a draw of something we talked about yesterday

303
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: and it's a simple question and it's getting kind of

304
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: one sided response, and I like the way the people

305
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: are responding to this. But let me get you the

306
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: question first, and you can phone in, Dylan, let us

307
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: know what you think. It's a big game. I don't

308
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: want to dismiss the importance of this game, the fun

309
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: of this game, the hype for this game, Bills Patriots.

310
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't even want to dismiss

311
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: what a victory over New England might signify for the

312
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. But win or lose your your definition, your winter,

313
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: lose the Sunday's game. Define the twenty nineteen Bill season.

314
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: I brought it up yesterday. We talked about it a

315
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: little bit yesterday. We are prepared to talk about it

316
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: more today. What um win would mean against the Patriots,

317
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: as far as the twenty nineteen season, what a loss

318
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: would mean? And it's it's debatable. I get that, but

319
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: that's our question on Twitter, Yes, no question, win or

320
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: lose the Sunday's game. Define the twenty nineteen Buffalo Bill season.

321
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: What do you think? Give us a call to discuss

322
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty outside Buffalo toll free

323
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: call at one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty,

324
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: or you can tweet in in response will we will

325
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: read it on the tweet sheet, or you can just

326
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: vote in the Twitter poll. We already got three hundred

327
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: fifty votes in on the Twitter poll, eighty four percent

328
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: of you, I think correctly answer no, this game does

329
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: not define the bill season. Sixteen percent say yes it does.

330
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, Steve and I you know, you know,

331
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: I am. I tested this out on people last night

332
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: at the Kinnesius event, and I think I think I'm

333
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: getting direct response here. Um, it doesn't define it. It's big. Uh,

334
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't define it, but it's it's a meaningful game. Obviously,

335
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tremendously fun game. But seventy five

336
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: percent of the regular season takes place after this coming

337
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Patriots. You can't let this game define

338
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: the whole season. That's exactly right. There's too much to

339
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: be done, certainly for all of us. It's a it's

340
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: a measuring stick about this process, you know, about this

341
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: journey we've all been on with this team for the

342
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: last three years. Uh. They ups and the downs, the

343
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: pleasant surprises and the and the disappointments that have come

344
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: along the way. It's a measuring stick because there's no

345
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: doubt the gold standard has been the New England Patriots

346
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: for twenty years. They've been to nine Super Bowls, they've

347
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: won six of them. They've got a quarterback who's the

348
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: greatest who's ever taken a snap and a head coach

349
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: who by all accounts I mean, and you'll get some

350
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: push brat back from it, but yeah, they may may

351
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: name Lombardi Trophy after that guy who Belichick think about it, right,

352
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: so he's done. It's it's you know, people kind of

353
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: stick their finger down their throat thinking about that. But

354
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: that's but you think about the accomplishments. That's what we're

355
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: talking about here. It's a it is a legendary run

356
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: that they have had in New England. So and it

357
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: is a measuring stick for every franchise who plays him

358
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: and this one's no different. But as a defining moment

359
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: for this season, No, I think we've got a lot

360
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: of things that we're gonna look forward to after this

361
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: win or lose. Yeah, we'll talk more about this as

362
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: the show goes along. Day are at practice right now

363
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: outside the at Pro Sports Training Center. That's where I mean.

364
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: Chris Brown is standing by on the sidelines. Chris Brown

365
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: Bills Inside from Buffalo Bills dot com. Chris, your thoughts

366
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: on this Twitter question? First we have here, Yes or no.

367
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: Does Sunday's game win or lose the Sunday's game define

368
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: the Bill season this year? What do you think? I

369
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: don't think one game can define a sixteen game season.

370
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: I think we'll know a lot more about what the

371
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: Bills could potentially be in twenty nineteen based on how

372
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: they fare in this matchup with the defending Super Bowl champs.

373
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: But I don't think it definitively tells you what this

374
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: season is going to be about. Okay, I think that's

375
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: a good answer. All right, let's talk about this game

376
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday this week, and let's start with defensive line,

377
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: where the Bills they've had Kyle Peco practicing all this season.

378
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: They had him in last year for most of the

379
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: year as a practice squad member, and he's out there

380
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: today now as a member of the fifty three man roster.

381
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: Does he have something to offer this defensive line? Chris?

382
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: What do you think? I don't know if he will

383
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: right away. He's kind of more of the squatty plugger

384
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: type defensive tackle. He's a stand in there and grind

385
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: kind of player. But because of his short stature, he

386
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: doesn't have the length that you ideally want, and I

387
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: think that's probably why he's been on some practice squads

388
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: the last couple of years in the league. You know,

389
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: did get eight games of playing experience with Denver over

390
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen seasons. But I think

391
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: he's a rotational player at best. And I you know,

392
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, I was kind of impressed with,

393
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, what we got out of in acquiring you know,

394
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: Vincent Taylor, who was the other defensive tackle on the

395
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: practice squad. It wouldn't surprise me in the weeks to

396
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: come if they flip flop Peco and Taylor depending on

397
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: maybe what they want. Maybe Taylor still has some room

398
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: to grow in terms of learning the scheme here, but

399
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: he's certainly a more imposing, physical defensive tackle than Kyle Peco.

400
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: But you know, Pecco works his tail off here in practice,

401
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: and we know that always has value with coach McDermott. Yeah.

402
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: One of the things with Murph and I are noticing

403
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: we're watching practice, Harrison Phillips is standing out there showing

404
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: the line stunts and giving the signals to the guys.

405
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: I've say, we just walked through some some simple takeoffs.

406
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips out there. Although I guess he's got a

407
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: little bit of a limp, no question, he's still on

408
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: the practice field kind of trying to help out, trying

409
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: to be engaged. Says a lot about Harry and his

410
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: presence in the room, right and coach McDermott kind of

411
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: gave indication that you know, he would be around for

412
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, even though he's going to

413
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: be undergoing ACL surgery here in the not too distant future.

414
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons why is he is

415
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: one of the sharpest defensive tackles in terms of scheme.

416
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: If you remember, I wrote a story a couple of

417
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: weeks back, you know, Kyle Williams used to call all

418
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: the pass rush games up front on the field pre

419
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: snap for this defense, and the guys that inherited that

420
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: responsibility were Lorenzo Alexander and Harrison Phillips. Well, now you

421
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: take Phillips out of that equation, a lot of the

422
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: burden now falls on Lorenzo to call those pass rush

423
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: games week to week. So Harrison's still going to be

424
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: a part of that, but he's not going to be

425
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: doing it on the field obviously on Sundays the rest

426
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: of the way, So It's gonna be interesting to see

427
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: how that pans out the rest of the year. They're

428
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: just gonna leave it to Lorenzo to call it, or

429
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: does somebody Yep, somebody else stepped forward and take on

430
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: that role to some extent. I don't know. I think

431
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: the most interesting thing is Phillips is going to be

432
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: missed in there, because through the first three games, at

433
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: least in my opinion, he was outperforming Star Latoula in

434
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: terms of being a disruptive force on the interior, and

435
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: I think we saw that in the amount of playing

436
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: time he got over these past two weeks. And now

437
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: that he's no longer part of the equation, it wouldn't

438
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: really surprise me if we see Jordan Phillips kind of

439
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: switch into more of that one technique role instead of

440
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: the rotational three technique role with Ed Oliver. I think

441
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna see Jordan Phillips vacillate from one role to

442
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: the other based on what they feel is best for

443
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: the game plan in a given week. It's interesting. Chris

444
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: Brown reporting to us from the practice field. The builds

445
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: in there Wednesday, practice just getting gone with individual drills

446
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: right now. Running backs, Chris Devin Singletary not practicing today

447
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: with his hamster again, Is he out there? Do you know?

448
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: And what about the running back group, in particular the

449
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: workload on Frank Gore and t J. Yelman. What do

450
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: you think? Yeah, I did not see him here at

451
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: the initial stretch, so I don't believe he's out here

452
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: right now. You know, Obviously you've got the workload falling

453
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: to those two that you mentioned, you know, Gore and Yelden.

454
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see if the game plan dictates

455
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: a different kind of balance between the two players. Obviously,

456
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: Gore got most of the workload in terms of carries.

457
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: And you've got a defense in the Patriots that is

458
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: capable of spinning the dial and giving you anything they

459
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: really want on third down. And oh, by the way,

460
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: this is the best third down defense in football right now,

461
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: the Patriots. So you know, what do you want? What

462
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: do you feel comfortable putting out there in terms of

463
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: your running back contingent on third down, especially third and long,

464
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: when you know that the Patriots can throw anything under

465
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: the sun at you and inevitably will, as they do

466
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: for every opponent that they face every week of the season.

467
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: So who do you trust who do you feel comfortable

468
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: with out there that they're going to pick up these things.

469
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: You have to believe when they're run the scout team

470
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: here Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, they're going to see how Frank

471
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: and t J. Eldon fair in those third down sets

472
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: which usually come up on Friday, and they'll probably make

473
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: their playing time allocations accordingly. Guys. One of the things

474
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about, Brownie, if if you

475
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: know or can tell the rotation of the defense of

476
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: backs into the backfield. You know, there's been like a

477
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: rotation of three guys Kevin, Kevin Johnson along with Siran Neil.

478
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: Is that going to continue the way it has, particularly

479
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: since Taron Johnson once again is out of practice with

480
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: his hamstring. Actually, Sharon Johnson is participating on a limited

481
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: basis today. Coach mentioned that in his press conference earlier,

482
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: and he's out here, doesn't have a red noncount test

483
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: jersey on or anything like that, but he is going

484
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 1: to be limited in practice. So I think what happens

485
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: at Nicol will hinge largely on how Johnson comes through

486
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: the week and if he can kind of increase his

487
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 1: practice reps as the week goes on, Well, then I

488
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: think it could just be Tarn Johnson exclusively, or we

489
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: could see maybe if they feel that they don't want

490
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: to overtax Taren Johnson's hamstring if he is in fact

491
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: up on Sunday, maybe they continue with the multifaceted roles

492
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: for those players. What you've seen the past couple of

493
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: weeks is Dean Marlowe is out there when opponents are

494
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: in twelve personnel, one back, two tight ends, they want

495
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: a bigger guy that can kind of handle a tight end.

496
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: And then when they go to eleven personnel, which is

497
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: what Cincinnati was in for the majority of the game

498
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: last week, which is why you saw a lot of

499
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: Serrand Neil on first and second down. And then Kevin

500
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: Johnson is the exclusive third down nicol regardless of formation.

501
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: But now you bring Taron Johnson back into the equation

502
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 1: and that's probably gonna get altered to some degree in

503
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: some way, shape or form. Chris Brown joined us from

504
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: the practice field. Chris, Steve and I opened up the show,

505
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 1: and we've talked all week about the new England defense

506
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: and top ranked and virtually every meaningful, if not every

507
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: category defensively, I'm wondering what the Josh Allen thinks about that,

508
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, and you can't tell what he thinks obviously,

509
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: but how the Bills will get him ready to go

510
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: up against his defense, the defense, which to my observation

511
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: shows no one superstar, more of like a cohesive plan.

512
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: They have done this defense for a while and maybe

513
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: most importantly, they're very fast. I mean they run all

514
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: over the place on defense. What do you think? Yeah,

515
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: I think the best way to describe what New England

516
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: does well is team defense. Right now there, Yes, you're

517
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: right there. Team speed collectively has been enhanced, chiefly at

518
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: the second level by Jamie Collins, probably their best athlete

519
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: at linebacker, who's kind of taken on a dual role.

520
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: Sometimes he'll rush off the edge, sometimes he'll play a

521
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: true strong side, you know, set the edge kind of backer,

522
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: and sometimes he'll just drop into coverage, you know, in

523
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: their sub packages. So he's really a versatile player for them,

524
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: and I think him he alone, is capable of confusing

525
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: an opposing offense because of that three headed type role

526
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: he can hold all by himself. And then you have

527
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: guys that are really just on the same page defensively

528
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: in the defensive backfield between the mccordy twins, Stefan Gilmour

529
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: as well and Patrick Chung, who also is a multifaceted

530
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: player can come down and cover a slot receiver and

531
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: capably run with a guy like that. So because their

532
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: defense can wear has players that can wear a lot

533
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: of different hats, they can give you a lot of

534
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: different looks without having to sub personnel on and off.

535
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: And I think that's really the key to them disguising

536
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: a lot of what they do and morphing and changing

537
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: in a lot of different ways sometimes snap to snap,

538
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be hard for Josh Allen, who is

539
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: just a second year quarterback to decipher it all pre snap.

540
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: Some of that he may have to figure out after

541
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: the snap of the ball, which is easier said than done. Yeah.

542
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: One of the things that sometimes teams, excuse me, sometimes

543
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: teams will use to help a young quarterback is pace.

544
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: Maybe they go out and go no huddle to try

545
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: and simplify the defense. I don't know that that works

546
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: against New England. Because of the continuity of all the

547
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: players they have, how well versed they are, they'll be

548
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: able to change and maybe keep up with the pace

549
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: of an offense that tries to go fast to simplify

550
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: their scheme. Yeah, and the other risk with that, steve

551
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: as if that doesn't work, now you're putting New England's

552
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: offense on the field, which a lot of teams would

553
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: prefer to avoid. And time of possession. Throughout the four

554
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: meetings between these two teams under coach McDermott for the Bills,

555
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots have had a time of possession advantage every

556
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 1: single time. Sometimes it's only buy three or four minutes,

557
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: but it's gone as wide as nine to ten minutes

558
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: in terms of time of possession differential when you get

559
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: to the end of the game and more snaps for

560
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is not a good thing. History has shown,

561
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: So you're really gonna have to pick your spots, you know,

562
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: in series sometimes with certain possessions where you feel it

563
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: behooves you to speed it up to prevent the Patriots,

564
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: you know, from really getting set and knowing what they're

565
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: seeing from you. But again, as I said earlier, they

566
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: have defenders and they're starting eleven that are capable of

567
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: wearing multiple hats in terms of roles defensively, So if

568
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: you force them to keep personnel on the field. It's

569
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: not always a bad thing for the Patriots because they

570
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: are so hybrid with the different key players that they

571
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: can deploy on the field. No, he's answering against these guys, Chris, right, Okay.

572
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's like coach said, I mean what they're

573
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 1: doing defensively out of the gate here this season. And

574
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: I know the opponents they've played haven't been great, but

575
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: the fact remains they have been dominant at a level

576
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: that this league has not seen in the Super Bowl era.

577
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: Whether it's not giving up an offensive touchdown through three

578
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: games to start a season. Guys, they're number one in

579
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: red zone defense obviously because they haven't given up an

580
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: offensive touchdown. But opponents have cracked the Patriots twenty yard

581
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: line twice in three games two two teams have gotten

582
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: inside their twenty yard line twice. Forget about scoring, they

583
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: haven't even gotten into their twenty yard lines. I mean,

584
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: this is this is a unit that knows each other,

585
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: plays very well off one another, and has one of

586
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: the best defensive minds the game has ever seen helping

587
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: them call plays. Hey, cutting Brownie off when he's getting

588
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: warmed up like that, Thank you very much, all Right,

589
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: Brownie just gett up. Chris brown just getting warmed up, right,

590
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: you can see him. I'm gonna talk more about the

591
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: Bills and the Patriots as the show moves along. Coming

592
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: up next from NFL Network, right, Mike Giardi. He covers

593
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: to Patriots quite a lot for the NFL Network. And

594
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: I'll be sitting right in out on our studio, in

595
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: our studio on our set when we come back. One

596
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: Does I presented by Collata Hell from the Seneca Studio

597
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park, and this is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back,

598
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: One Dales Live. We're coming to you from our Seneca

599
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: studio ian Orchard Park, John Murphy, Seve Tasker, and a

600
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: special guest, NFL new reporter Mike Giardi. You can see

601
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: him on NFL Networks Game Day Morning show Sunday's nine am.

602
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: Formerly with NBC Sports in Boston. Welcome to the show. Thanks,

603
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: thanks for pretty excited about it. You are assigned to

604
00:30:54,720 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots, Yes, right, they need something. There's always something

605
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: going on with them one way to the next, you know. So,

606
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 1: but they sent you out here to Buffalo to get

607
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: a look at the Bills. Yeah, I mean the Bills

608
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: warn't the attention right three and oh, I think I

609
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: felt coming into the year that they were a team

610
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: on the rise. I love the way that they're building

611
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: the program. And to hear Sean McDermott talk today about

612
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: the culture and sort of establishing the culture, it reminds

613
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: me of twenty years ago covering the Patriots and the

614
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: way that program grew and how Bill used to talk

615
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: about it then. And I just I love the way

616
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: it's at it for Buffalo and they deserve the sort

617
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: of the national recognition that they're starting to get this week.

618
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: How much difference does it makes, for instance, like a

619
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: guy like a three year coach like this, maybe he's

620
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: got all his guys that he wants on the squad,

621
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: he's got a coaching staff, he's tinkered with that in

622
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: the offseason as well. But you get a depth of

623
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: where it's almost baked into the walls in New England

624
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: because it's been two decades in a league where things

625
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: turn over every three or four or five years. What

626
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: kind of difference do you since because of that? I

627
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: think it's history. I think it's a massive difference. And

628
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: you just look across the league, like Tomlin's been there

629
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: for a long time, but there are so few coaches

630
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: that get into that level where everything is everybody knows

631
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: what they're supposed to do. There's no question about when

632
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: you're supposed to show up, how you're supposed to go

633
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: about your business, um, what the coaches expect from you,

634
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: what's expected from you in the program. And I think

635
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: that's been one of the problems across the league is

636
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: because of the quote unquote parody. There's ownership looks and

637
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: says for two years, we haven't been any good. I'm

638
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: bouncing this and we're starting at changing my GM and

639
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: the coach. But now the new GM doesn't really like

640
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: the coach. The coach gets one more year and then

641
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: we bump him out and he gets his own guy

642
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: in there. Years. You thinking about the Buffalo Bills up

643
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: until the last two years, It's true. I think it's

644
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: it's every Bills, It's the Jets a doll and look

645
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: in this division. I think, in particular, because the teams

646
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: have been chasing the Patriots, that there's even more of

647
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: a reason to hit. They keep hitting the reset button.

648
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: But I think what's happening here now proves that if

649
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: you start to stick with it and let the routes

650
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: establish themselves that you have an opportunity to see some

651
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: of the fruits of that. And I think they're the

652
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: Bills our position, the way the AFC looks this year

653
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: to be a playoff team, whether what happens on Sunday,

654
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: whether they win, whether they lose, whether it's close, whether

655
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: it's lopsided. I just think what you're seeing as a

656
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: strong foundation now. And I think Sean and the way

657
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: they built a program is why like Giardi Vnefel Network

658
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: card guests for a couple of minutes here, and you

659
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: started out talking about the culture, which Steve and I

660
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: discuss a lot. A lot of people don't want to

661
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: give culture much credence at all when it comes to

662
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: building a program. McDermott talks about it all the time.

663
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: I think it matters. I think the Bills already in

664
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: the early stages now two and a half years into McDermot,

665
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: they've demonstrated that it matters. What do you think does

666
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: it matter? I think it absolutely matters. I think if

667
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: it's so easy to lose your way, and it's so

668
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: easy to get mixed messages from ownership to GM to coach,

669
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: and when that message is the same, and what we're

670
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: trying to do and establish as the program is the same.

671
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: Then again, I think it just allows you to start

672
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: to feed off of it, and so much with these guys,

673
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: it's routine and it's getting him into a schedule, and

674
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: it's like, look, what you're doing isn't enough. We need

675
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: to do more. This is how we do more. The

676
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: Patriots have for twenty years now have established this that

677
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: you come into the program. It doesn't matter who you are,

678
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: your first round pick or you're the undrafted kid gunner Olschewski,

679
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: who's the punt returner from Division two Bamiji State, come

680
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: in and do what we ask you to do. We'll

681
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: give you more, and if you show you can handle it,

682
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: you'll get more and more and more, and you'll get

683
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: more responsibility. And the draft position doesn't matter. The amount

684
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,959
Speaker 1: of money they spend on you doesn't matter. Play play well,

685
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: do what the way we want, and that's all that matters.

686
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: I think last night they get the punt return guys

687
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: from a hockey school basically right, they find them for ever.

688
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: I tell young kids, if you're good enough, somebody's gonna

689
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: find you. So let's talk about this year's team. The

690
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: faces of the franchise, as we said, haven't changed for

691
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: twenty years. It's it's Tom and it's Bill and mister Kraft.

692
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: But this team this year is really about their defense,

693
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: their heart. You can't score on. Yeah, I felt like

694
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: last year we saw a transition, especially late in the year.

695
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: Patris became a power running football team last year. But

696
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 1: to me, they looked at their defense and said, our

697
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: defense is doing big things now and we can We

698
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: can be in the twenties and still win with our defense. Now.

699
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: We can be in the high teams and still win now.

700
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: And you saw the way they manhandled San Diego in

701
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: the first playoff game. I know San Diego get some

702
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: points late, but throw that out that when it mattered,

703
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: they couldn't do anything. Kansas City was held scoreless in

704
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: the first half of the AFC Championship game. I know

705
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: the second half it went they went crazy, but that

706
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: spat Mahomes in that offense. They hadn't been held scoreless

707
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: in the first half the entire season, and then three

708
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: points in the Super Bowl, and on and on it goes.

709
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: I just think that there's there's so much intelligence there.

710
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: In addition to the talent that they're able to do

711
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: things almost sometimes without the coaches. Steve, they know they

712
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: can look at Dante. You saw this two years ago

713
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: when we were playing the Bills. We don't need to

714
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: go back. I'll just make the call. We'll do what

715
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: we did against in that game two years ago. As

716
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,959
Speaker 1: an example. We'll give you the Super Bowl. They held

717
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: the Rams to three points. Sean mcvagh on the sidelines

718
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 1: knew earlier, he said, since then, he's new. He owned

719
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: it early on in that game. He knew the Patriots

720
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: were doing some things differently than what they had been.

721
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: They couldn't prepare for them. But he's a second year coach.

722
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a guy out there and says, hey,

723
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna go back and run this stuff we did

724
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: three years ago with We're gonna go back and run

725
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: these plays because that's what will work against that defense. Now,

726
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: they didn't have the depth of history in the offense

727
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: for guys to make those kind of adjustments in a

728
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: game that big, and that led to three points in

729
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: the most important game of the year, and when you've

730
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: been scoring thirty five and doesn't that always come back

731
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: to what we just started with with culture that you

732
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: have this established and the guys like Devin mccordy have

733
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: been with a team for eight or nine years in

734
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: High Tower, seven or eight years that having been together,

735
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: having known what the coaches will allow them the freedom

736
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 1: to do when you show you can handle it matters.

737
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: And I think you're seeing it here. They haven't even

738
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: to me, they haven't even unleashed what the defense is

739
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: capable of doing just yet because they you know, they

740
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: haven't had to the Jets. The Jets. Yeah, was Falk

741
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: and you know, thirston quarterback in a tough spot. The

742
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: Dolphins are obviously going through some major turnover down there.

743
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: So I just go back to the Steelers game and

744
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: look at how they handled what we thought was gonna

745
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: be a good Steelers team. Ben played in that game

746
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: and they held in the three points and basically had

747
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: their way with him. Mike, you mentioned how late last

748
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: year in the playoff run they became a power running team.

749
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: What will they miss with James Devlin out? Will that

750
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: affect what they're able to do on the ground. Yeah,

751
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: So they have this kid, Jakup Johnson who comes from

752
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: the international program, and as Bill Belichick told us, the

753
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: other day. He wasn't even on our radar. I couldn't

754
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: even imagine a making the team. We hadn't you get

755
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: the extra spots? Who was the ninety first guy on

756
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: the team, And that's how he viewed him. But he's

757
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: very physical, so we'll see if he can translate and

758
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: give them some snaps at that position. He's been moved

759
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: up to the active roster. But Devlin is a heart

760
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: and soul guy, and Belichick showed him such great respect

761
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: when he said, you don't find another James Devlin. They don't.

762
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: They just can't manufacture guys like that. Matthew Slayer is

763
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: one of the team captains, said he's as good a

764
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: team and as they've ever been around, so selfless guy,

765
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: incredibly physical and was very very important to the run

766
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: last year, and all nine rushing touchdowns in the postseason

767
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: came behind Devlin. So it's gonna be I think a

768
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: work in progress. I think the offense has been a

769
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: work in progress for the first three weeks, and I

770
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: expect it's going to continue for a little bit. Focus

771
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: and throw it more because I know they can do

772
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: that too. Yeah, I think what you saw last week

773
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: is a lot of two backsets, but with Rex Burkhead

774
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: as the other back. Rex is more of a pass

775
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: receiver but has actually been their best runner at this point.

776
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: I think you'll see more of Rex and they hope,

777
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: you know, knock on wood for him, that he can

778
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: stay healthy, because that's really been the one problem in

779
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: his career is he just he gets going and then

780
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: he gets he gets hurt, and then you miss him

781
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: for four to six weeks. Yeah. The handful that the

782
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: Patriots offense is stems from the fact that you know,

783
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: Tom can call these plays and you've got guys who

784
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: actually know what they're doing and they can pull a

785
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: play from whenever whenever. And they also the personnel that

786
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: are in it seem interchangeable. And now we've talked about

787
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: it on the defense outside how they've had guys they'll

788
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: run the same defense but have two guys switch positions

789
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: and it looks, well, now what is it? And but

790
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 1: it's just same defense. Offensively, they can do the exact

791
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: same thing with multiple personnel. Says how many personnel said,

792
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: I mean is that there? Yeah? No, I mean, that's

793
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: that's one of the things. And you know, a couple

794
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, we're talking about how Antonio Brown's going

795
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: to change the offense. And they were in a lot

796
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: of ten personnel with the four wide receivers on the

797
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: one running back. And when that running back is James

798
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: White or Burkehead there, I mean White is essentially a

799
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver for this football team. The way they use him,

800
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: that goes away. They go back to the two back

801
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 1: sets that they used against the Steelers, but using those

802
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: guys as receivers as well. And White missed the game,

803
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: his wife had a baby, so he'll be back this

804
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: week and they'll reinsert him into the lineup. I just

805
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: there is that versatility. Go back to the Super Bowl, right,

806
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: they drew up a play that they hadn't practiced all year.

807
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: They went with twenty two personnel but went empty and

808
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: got mismatches on three straight plate. They were in the

809
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: same play three straight times and got three different results.

810
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: Capping with the Grunkowski catched down the team that set

811
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: up to Sonny Michelle touchdown, Like you're here and reporting

812
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: on the Bills, and you said that the Bills are

813
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: an interesting team that seemed to be getting better. Bills

814
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: fans would like to hear that maybe there is some

815
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: slippage from the Patriots, but it's not evidence of the

816
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: first three games. Yeah, I mean, I look that. I

817
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: think in some ways the Bills are catching the Patriots

818
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 1: at a good time. The Patriots offensive line is beat up.

819
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: Marcus Cannon had missed the game in Miami, came back

820
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: last week still playing basicall with one arm. Ted Carriss

821
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: is the center now. David Andrews is out for the year.

822
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: It appears with blood clots and his lungs, which is

823
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: a serious situation. He's doing better. Harris had a rough

824
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: week last week. A lot of pressures off at him

825
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: and their left tackles. Marshall Newhouse, who was signed off

826
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 1: the street about twelve days ago, he was here and played.

827
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: He played basically the full game against Miami, having been

828
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: there for four days. Dante Scarnecki, the offensive line coaches,

829
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: is a very good coach, but there's some challenges. They

830
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: haven't been able to run the football very well. Edelman

831
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: has now got some rib issues that I expect him

832
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday, but how much that affects him

833
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: and one of the things they will know too, is

834
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: that when they went into Miami, and yeah, they had

835
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. Zavian Howard, who's Miami's best corner, went one

836
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: on one with Josh Gordon and took Josh Gordon out

837
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: of the game. Now, if Tredavious White can follow the

838
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: same formula and you have a decreased Julian Edelman. With

839
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 1: the way this defense has been playing, Steven, I think

840
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep the Patriots down. Now. The question is

841
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: whether Buffalo's offense can score. You know, whether Josh can

842
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: make some plays and be to continue on the uptick

843
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: with the accuracy, because that to me has been a

844
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: big thing with Josh. Can he be more accurate? It's

845
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,720
Speaker 1: not saying much, but this is by far the toughest

846
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: opponent the Patriots will have faced. Forget the records. I

847
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: mean that, look, the Dolphins, the Jets, Steve, they they

848
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: respect the hell out of the Bills from the top

849
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: on down. Belichick talking about the job that mcdermot's done

850
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: with Brian Dayball and Leslie Fraser as the coordinators. The

851
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: obviously the environment they know about that. Look at last

852
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: year Patriots came in here playing Derek Anderson on a

853
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: Sunday night or a Monday night. I forget when the

854
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: annoyment in the game, and they had hard time moving

855
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: the ball. And I think this defense this year for

856
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: the Bills is better than the one we saw last year.

857
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: So I think there'll be a challenge to me. It

858
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 1: flips around on Ken Josh Allen, figure out a way

859
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: to decipher that defense and take care of the football.

860
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: I know there are other games, at least one of

861
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: the game featuring undefeated teams this weekend, but this is

862
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: the best game in the league. I love the game,

863
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: and because I love the history between the two teams,

864
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: and I've said it for years and years and years

865
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Bills, I love it when

866
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: the Bills are good because that environment. And people ask

867
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: me this all the time. They say, a lot of

868
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: stadium you've ever been in? I say, twenty eleven. Ryan

869
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick leads to come back, Brady throws the four picks.

870
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: I've never felt anything. I've been in Seattle, I've been

871
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: in Kansas City playoff games, super Bowls. I've never felt

872
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: sound goes through my chest like it did that day.

873
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll do that for you this right, Thanks Mike. Thanks.

874
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: You can see him on NFL Network. He's here covering

875
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: the Bills. You got updates from Buffalo coming up on

876
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: that day. Mike Giarny, NFL Network reporter. You can see

877
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: him on the network's NFL Game Day morning Sundays at

878
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 1: nine am Eastern. We thank him for joining us. Steve

879
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: and I coming back one Bills Live from our Seneca

880
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 1: studio and this is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back. Thanks again.

881
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: That was that was good, right right, talking to Mike Giardi,

882
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: it was good. I think it was good good and uh,

883
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: look he's got Patriots info, but he's certainly not the

884
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: biased toward the Patriots, right. You had to appreciate what

885
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: he said about the Bills and the Patriots field about

886
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: the Bills, and we feel that way too. What do

887
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: you think of this game? Our Twitter poll today does

888
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: this game? And this came about because yesterday we were

889
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: close to an argument about this shift. You've been strangely silent.

890
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: Win or lou, I'm talking about this our Twitter pole,

891
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: win or lose? Does Sunday's game Define the Bills twenty

892
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 1: nineteen season on Twitter? We got six hundred fifty votes

893
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: in eighty three percent of you think like I do. No,

894
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 1: it does not. Only seventeen percent say, yes it does.

895
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: If you have thoughts on that, give us a call

896
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: eight three fifty to three one eight eight eight five

897
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. Weren't you trying to convince me

898
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: yesterday that it will define the season that it does?

899
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but I do think it. I

900
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: do think this. Here's my point yesterday, and I think

901
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: I remember it as I don't remember some things. My

902
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: point was this, I think a win is a huge

903
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: event more so than the loss is. A loss is

904
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: a loss. It's a one game in a sixteen game season,

905
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: all that. But a win I think says something, and

906
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: I think, as much as they won't admit it, I

907
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: think it'll mean something this coaching staff, in this locker

908
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: room as well. It will be a huge It's not

909
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: not a feather in the cap, that's not the right word.

910
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: I think a huge affirmation of the work that they

911
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: have done, because we you and I both know Murph,

912
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: they are working. They have been working really, really hard

913
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: in this building for a long long time to get

914
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, for two or three years now, to get

915
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: this going in the right direction, and a win would

916
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: really validate what they have done to this point. I

917
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: think it is a huge I think it would mean

918
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: a lot deep down to the organization. It would be

919
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: an affirmation within the building that Okay, let's go, and

920
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: they would and I think it would, like like Mike

921
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: Gi already said, it would deepen the roots of what

922
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: they're doing here in Buffalo. Now, that doesn't mean that

923
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: those roots aren't coming up if they lose, by the

924
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 1: way exactly, but I do think that it would expand

925
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: their confidence and ownership's confidence and the fan base kind

926
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: of say Okay, what's the next step. And if they

927
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, they say, okay, we really need to do

928
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: this and this, like they got this building built, you

929
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: know that kind of stuff. We need an extra coach

930
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: on the staff, or this coach, we need to do this,

931
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 1: we need to all of that stuff. Um. It's easier

932
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, you know what, You're on the right track,

933
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 1: you got it, you know. Um. I think it validates

934
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: the culture. You know what I'm saying interesting, But you've

935
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: articulated it differently than you did yesterday. I think it.

936
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: I think, you know, yesterday I was I think I

937
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: started out by saying, you know, a win means everything. Yeah, right,

938
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: I think it does. I think A win is a

939
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: bigger plus than a lost his mind gout. Butcher Buffalo

940
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: on the lines got some thoughts on this topic. Hi

941
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: Butcher days, says John, and stay thanks for taking our

942
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: call as a plus to talk to you guys as usual. Uh,

943
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: first of all, I wanted to go by your topic. No,

944
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: it does not define us of what this one game

945
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday needs. Does we already know what type of

946
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: team we have? We already know what type of a

947
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: team that was built, how we built it. We're going

948
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: to be the blueprint after this game or what the

949
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: NFL how you build a football team from scratch? The

950
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: years everybody laughed at our city, everybody laughed at our team.

951
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: But now moving forward with this three and our record,

952
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: moving on to this four door record we have after Sunday,

953
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: is that people will now understand that Sean McDermott, Brandon

954
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: Dean and a Bergoula family who bought this football team.

955
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: It's real about what they do. Bagoulas believed in being

956
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: the sorry, believed in McDonald McDermott, McDermot, total about being

957
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: they brought being over. If you don't believe me, you

958
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: look at the New York Giants you laughed at Gheleman.

959
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: Ghelman was the general manager at the Carolina Panthers and

960
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: Bee And at the same exact time you laugh at

961
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: properly Pick, you laughed at Jones Pick. Now you see

962
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: how it's producing. New York Giants are building a football

963
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: team just like the Buffalo builds. Unfortunately, we were one

964
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: step ahead of them. So looking forward, I'm looking forward

965
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: for a big day Sunday, and I'm looking forward the

966
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: arrest of the NFL and invest of the world to

967
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 1: understand the Buffalo is serious about what they do. Okay,

968
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: so much to take in my car and I love

969
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: you guy, Thanks, thank you. That's nice. I'll tell you this,

970
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: and it's interesting. You know, the blueprint of how you

971
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: build a football team. I think the blueprint is for

972
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: hearing Buffalo to build a winning program and a culture

973
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: that's going to continue and be sustainable. I think it's

974
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: a little different here in Buffalo than it is in

975
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: other places. I think every city is unique in certain respects.

976
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: And I also think and another thing that is unique

977
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: is also, like he said, the ownership. You've got to

978
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 1: cultivate a relationship with the ownership group, get their mindset

979
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: on board with what it takes to exactly build a

980
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: winner in your city. I think more so than the

981
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: other team, We've got an ownership group that kind of

982
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 1: understands it the uniqueness of this market better than anybody else.

983
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: They grew up here, I mean, they're Buffalo people. You

984
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: get other it's not that way in every city. Is

985
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: what makes and we only have a minute or two

986
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: here almost at the top of they are. But what

987
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 1: is the unique part that you're talking about it? Because

988
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't disagree. I think I know where you're going,

989
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: and I agree some of it has to do with

990
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: how you run the team and what it means to

991
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: the City's a it's a link to the history of

992
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: the city where you don't have a problem acknowledging the

993
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: history of the club where and they do it on

994
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: the hockey side too, the former players. They involve those

995
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: guys that I think it's important for this fan base,

996
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: and I think this ownership group gets it. This fan

997
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: base needs to know that the people in this building

998
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: like it and love it in this town more so

999
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: than any I think there are some cities like of

1000
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: course they love it in Miami. What do we care

1001
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: you know of course they like it in Arizona. What

1002
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 1: do we care that our city's great? La? Of course

1003
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: it's La. It's Hollywood. Everybody loves it here. Think it's

1004
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 1: important for this fan base to know that these players

1005
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: and this this building are invested in this region, not

1006
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 1: just you know, not just that. That's one thing. Other

1007
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: things as well, the proximity of the stadium outside the city,

1008
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: the size of the city. You gotta have guys in

1009
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: this on this team who who come from Wyoming. Yeah,

1010
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, it struck a chord with me. I came

1011
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: from Kansas, I got I spent a year in Houston

1012
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 1: here in half in Houston. When I got here, this

1013
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: was home. A week after I was there for two

1014
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: calendar years about here, I was like, Wow, this is

1015
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: this is a lot like me, you know, And I'm

1016
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: still here. And this goes to what being and and

1017
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: McDermot talking about identifying the DNA of the players they want. Yeah,

1018
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: and I think they and it's only what two years

1019
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: for being three from Mcturnmot, they're only into it for

1020
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: a couple of years. But they've done a good job

1021
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: of fighting those guys and bringing them here. It's not

1022
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: just about how much they love to play football, and

1023
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: it's it's us, not we, It's it's it's all of us.

1024
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 1: It's team first, all of that stuff unselfish. Plus it

1025
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: is this thing about man. I like this small town thing. Yeah,

1026
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: I like it. When I go to the story, guy

1027
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: calls me by my first name because I'm part of

1028
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: the family. Yeah, it doesn't click with everybody, right, but

1029
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: if they got the right DNA, it does. And I

1030
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: think that's really important for this franchise. All Right, we

Speaker 1: facility today. Ramsey did not participate in their Monday workhouse

1068
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: because he was ill, although he did make an appearance here.

1069
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: It's unclear at this point if he will be able

1070
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 1: to practice today and what that does for his status

1071
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,240
Speaker 1: for Sunday's game at the Denver Broncos and the Seahawks

1072
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: are finalizing the trade to send Tita and Nick Vanett

1073
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: to the Steelers. Steelers expected to get a twenty twenty

1074
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: fifth round pick in exchange. Steelers starting Titan and Advance

1075
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: McDonald hurt his shoulder in Sunday's loss in San Francisco.

1076
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: He was in a sling yesterday. Sabers home for their

1077
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: final home preseason game tonight, the Columbus Blue Jackets in

00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: week from tomorrow. That is the update from One Bill's Drive,

1082
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,240
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker in our One Buffalo Studio

00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,959
Speaker 1: or two. You can phone them in or tweet them in. Hello, Field,

1088
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: John Rafe and Steve Tasker Uprearing Buffalo, thank you for

1089
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: joining us. Hey guys, Happy Week four to you. And

1090
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: maybe I'm maybe I'm just overstated this a little bit,

1091
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: but kind of feels like a major week this week, gentlemen.

1092
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: It feels like there's a lot of buzz surrounding a

1093
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: certain games going to be played in Western New York

1094
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. What's your take on? What's your take on

1095
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: all that buzz? You know, I was having this conversation

1096
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: with a colleague of mine. If ESPN were to do

1097
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: a similar thing with Sunday NFL Countdown that it does

1098
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: with college game name where it goes to the biggest

1099
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: game of the week and embraces the atmosphere. We took

1100
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: a show on the road. Wouldn't the obvious pick this

1101
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: week be going to Buffalo and visiting the three and

1102
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: O Bills when the Patriots do the same also at

1103
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: three and OZ. I get it, it's early on in

1104
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: the season. A lot can change, but this has a

1105
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 1: palpable buzz to it of two teams, teams that not

1106
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: only respect each other for what they have done so

1107
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: far this season, but believe that this has a chance

1108
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: to be success that can be sustained. Obviously, another team

1109
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: is going to stay undefeated forever, but I think that

1110
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 1: both of these teams have an immense amount of respect

1111
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: for each other. The Patriots has the bid there done

1112
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: that team it's been so dominant for so long. The

1113
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: Bills is the team that the Patriots know. It's been

1114
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 1: a long time since they've been tested in the AFC East,

1115
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: but one team has emerged as the one that's built

1116
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: it right, done a lot of the right things, put

1117
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: a lot of the right people in place to be successful,

1118
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: not just now, but for the long haul. Steve and

1119
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: I on the show today and even a little bit yesterday,

1120
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: trying to put this game in in some perspective. We're

1121
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: asking our listeners today, you know, does this game define

1122
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: the Bills twenty nineteen season. Most of them say no,

1123
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: and I agree with that. Steve has a point that

1124
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: a win over the Patriots might have more long term

1125
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: significance than a Lawson doing than would be Do you

1126
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 1: agree with that? What do you think? Here's what I

1127
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 1: would say. I don't want this to come across as

1128
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: take driven, but I would just say that maybe on

1129
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 1: the national sphere of the NFL, if the Bills win

1130
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday, it legitimizes them as a team to be

1131
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: reckoned with this year. And this is not taken away

1132
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: because you guys know, I've been a believer in this

1133
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: organization throughout the offseason. But just like the Patriots, the

1134
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 1: Bills three opponents to dates have combined to win zero

1135
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: games so far this year. Right, the NFL is not

1136
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 1: like college football, where you know you play directional State

1137
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: in Week one and you know it's it's a cupcake.

1138
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: But still the meat of the schedule for both of

1139
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 1: these teams is still ahead of them. If the Bills

1140
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: win on Sunday, it's would catapult them up the you know,

1141
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: the made up power rankings that don't really matter, but

1142
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: we still use them each and every week. A loss,

1143
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: and it would it would prove short term that they're

1144
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: here to stay. But I think I don't think a

1145
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: loss throws their season off the train tracks, right. I

1146
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: think that they've shown that defensively they're going to be

1147
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: one of the best again, and that offensively they've got

1148
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 1: so many more weapons that can test you that you know,

1149
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: if things don't go in their favor on Sunday, the

1150
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: Bills don't fade away. As a matter of fact, that's

1151
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 1: things currently line up. I still think the Bills have

1152
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 1: an excellent shot to be playing football in January when

1153
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 1: the games matter in the postseason. Yeah, what do you

1154
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: How do you feel about what the Bills have done

1155
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: so far? Certainly their teams are I think the teams

1156
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: that the Bills a player are now one in eight.

1157
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:30,760
Speaker 1: The Giants got to win last week against the Bucks.

1158
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: But both these teams playing well on the record, teams

1159
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 1: that can't win. But what has the Bills in the

1160
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: manner in which they've won? Said to you? So, I

1161
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: think we had this conversation after Week one, and I

1162
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: know that you know, going into week one, it's hard

1163
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: to say that we know for sure what each team

1164
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: is or should be. But I felt that the Bills

1165
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 1: should have won that game against the Jets in Week

1166
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: one because I believe them to be a more talented team.

1167
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's, you know, not a mystery at

1168
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,439
Speaker 1: all after three weeks, but going into week one there's

1169
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: always announce of mystery in the NFL. The Bills are

1170
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 1: winning the games that they should win. Now, I understand it.

1171
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: Last week was probably closer than we anticipated it to

1172
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: be between the Bengals, But you know, what's hurts a

1173
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: lot more than winning an ugly game is losing a

1174
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: game that you should lose, a game being played at home,

1175
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: a game being played against probably an inferior opponent. What

1176
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: I've learned from the Bills is that not that the

1177
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: defense is good, is that it's stayed great, right. I mean,

1178
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: last year was outstanding and this year it's outstanding again.

1179
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: I know. Turnavious White said after the game, Hey, I

1180
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: want to hear the national people talk about us as

1181
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: one of the best defenses in football and talk about

1182
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: our secondary. And he doesn't have to beg because people

1183
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: should be talking about this Bill secondary turn Avious White.

1184
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: You know, I heard Bill Belichick and Sean McDermot of

1185
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: their respective press conferences earlier on and I know Bill

1186
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: Belichick said, you know, Turnavious White is one of the

1187
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: best cornerbacks we face all season. And you know, Micah

1188
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: Hyde and Jordan Ployer in their third year together, it's,

1189
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, about as good of a secondary safety duo

1190
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: as you can find in the NFL. So what I've

1191
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: learned about the Bills defense and it stayed dominant and

1192
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: then offensively, is that there's so much more confidence. Josh

1193
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: Allen looks much better as a player overall, so many

1194
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: more weapons, and you know, last year it might have

1195
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 1: been nice to see her, was nice to sort of

1196
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: see one guy emerged in the passing game, Robert Foster

1197
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: down the stretch. This year it's one week John Brown,

1198
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: another week Dobson Knocks, another week Cole Beasley. So each

1199
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: week the Bills have enough horsepower in the bassing game

1200
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: that they can turn out a new number one pass

1201
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: catch the field. You mentioned Josh Allen. A lot of

1202
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: discussion about him over the last few days here. He

1203
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: threw a banner interception, took a bad intentional grounding penalty.

1204
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: He also let another fourth quarter come back. Where is

1205
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: Josh do you think in his development as he goes

1206
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: into his fifteenth regular season start. Yeah, it's funny. We

1207
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: have sort of a problem right now in that we

1208
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: have a prodigious talents that is the talk of the

1209
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: league in Patrick Mahomes, and he sort of warped expectations

1210
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: about where a second year quarterback is supposed to be.

1211
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 1: You know, this is his third season, but in his

1212
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: second season he won the MVP, and all of a sudden,

1213
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: people are grading other young quarterbacks against Patrick balls like

1214
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: that feels somewhat like chasing a ghost. To me, I

1215
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: think he'd be much better served grading them compared to

1216
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: where most quarterbacks are in their aged twenty two season

1217
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: or aged twenty three season. For Josh Allen, he's made strides.

1218
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: A completion percentage is not perfect yet, but it's it's

1219
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction. You know, he's making those

1220
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: throws and I believe that was actually one of the

1221
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 1: highlights for those that are currently watching the stream. Third

1222
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: and fourteen and he runs right and right and right,

1223
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: and I thought he was going to throw the football

1224
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: out of bounds. Instead he rifles a cannon to John Brown,

1225
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: and I just think that although there are plenty of

1226
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: arious room to improve, and he would be the first

1227
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: to tell you that, or maybe Sean mcdur would be

1228
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: the first to tell you that. Usually in weeks one

1229
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: to week two, or excuse me, year one to year

1230
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: two or year two to year three, you have a

1231
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: pretty good feel whether the guy is aerow pointing up,

1232
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: arrow pointing down, or an arrow that's kind of just

1233
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: moving horizontally. I think it's pretty clear that Josh Allen

1234
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 1: is an arrow pointing up quarterback. There was one other

1235
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: guy that was a little surprising, at least during the

1236
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: first three weeks of the season, and he got a

1237
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: lot more opportunity this last week was a veteran Frank Gore.

1238
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people thought thought, wow, you're gonna you're

1239
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: hiring a thirty six year old running back, and yet

1240
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: Frank Gore came in with the injury pulled muscle to

1241
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary got the workman's share of the load last week,

1242
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: and he continues to be productive even on the grinded

1243
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: out runs. He just doesn't go away after in sixteen

1244
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: years as a running back. What are your thoughts about

1245
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: Frank Gore and his ability to contribute at the age. Yeah,

1246
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's almost mind blowing, honestly. I mean,

1247
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: there are like three running backs in the NFL. They're

1248
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: over the age of thirty three. I believe the other two,

1249
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Darren Sproles is one of them. I mean, it's just

1250
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: amazing how these guys continue to get the job done

1251
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: at such a high level right now. And you know,

1252
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: Frank or is doing it tough, right Like, He's not

1253
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: a huge pass catching back at this juncture of his

1254
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 1: career at two catches for thirteen yards last week, but

1255
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: he runs hard, he runs with purpose, and is he

1256
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: gonna have as many explosive plays as the top running

1257
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: backs in the league. No. But what I will tell

1258
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: you is this is that NFL offensive coordinators like to

1259
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: play on schedule or a head of schedule. They don't

1260
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 1: like to play behind schedule. And what you know you're

1261
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna get from Frank Gore is A what you drop

1262
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: and b what the blocking gives him. He's not going

1263
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: to push you backwards. You're not gonna find yourself, you know,

1264
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: second and thirteen, third and eleven, Frank or running the

1265
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: football in first or second down, he's gonna help advance

1266
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: the script for the offense. And you know he's still

1267
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: allowed to bring down. You know, he's got, you know,

1268
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: a stocky He's not the tallest guy obviously, but a stocky,

1269
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: tough demeanor to him. And I know that he's going

1270
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: to be someone that the rest of his teammates are

1271
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: gonna just sort of feed off of. If he's still

1272
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: getting the job done at nearly thirty five, what's our

1273
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: excuse at the beginning stages of our career. So immense

1274
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: respect for Frank or he should be somebody that one

1275
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: day is hoisting or is wearing a gold jacket in Canton, Ohio.

1276
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 1: He has been the NFL insider field yates on the

1277
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 1: lamb with his field. This is not a fantasy question,

1278
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: although there are fantasy football considerations around it. As we

1279
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: look around at the rest of the league. The Giant's

1280
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: now gonna be without sae Quon Barkley for a month

1281
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: or two. Can they start to lean on rookie quarterback

1282
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones? Based on what we saw last Sunday, he

1283
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 1: had no choice right now what to do exactly that,

1284
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: and you know, that's sort of the opposite of what

1285
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: you normally want to be doing right with a rookie quarterback,

1286
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: is you want to be supporting him and putting all

1287
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: the pieces in place so that rookie quarterback can take

1288
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 1: advantage of whatever he has at his disposal. Not that

1289
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: Danio Jones did not show really well last week, because

1290
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 1: he was remarkable last week in that win against the Buccaneers,

1291
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: the largest comeback for the Giants since nineteen seventy in

1292
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: his first start. But they may not have a choice.

1293
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna probably rely upon Wayne Gallman in

1294
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: the running game. Gollman a twenty seventeen draft pick out

1295
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: of Clemson who sort of cut his teeth as more

1296
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 1: of a pass catching back in this offense. But I

1297
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: think the Giants are gonna hopefully find ways to continue

1298
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: to make things easy on Danio Jones. If you go

1299
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: back and watch some of the most of the best

1300
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: plays and you're seeing them right now on the feed.

1301
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: Is that part of the directive probably leaf from you know,

1302
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: head coach Pat Schremer is we've got dynamic playmakers and

1303
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram and Sterling Shepherd, amongst some other guys. Let's

1304
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: make life on Daniel a lot easier by putting them

1305
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: in advantageous situations, letting them run after the catch, letting

1306
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: them be, you know, in times, the fastest players on

1307
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: the field and the most explosive, and let them take

1308
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 1: the load off of Daniel Jones as much as they can.

1309
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: I got one question for you, field dates. I didn't

1310
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: really think about it as a fantasy question, but it

1311
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: kind of is. Is Jacoby Brissett maybe one of the

1312
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: most surprising breakout guys in the league, particularly at that position.

1313
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: He was an afterthought for most people. And now he's

1314
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:43,439
Speaker 1: starting in the and the Colts look like they haven't

1315
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: missed a beat, and he's looking really, really solid so far.

1316
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 1: And the Colts gave him that leap of faith with

1317
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: that one year extension at the beginning of the season

1318
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: and have about prict multiple passing touchdowns and every game

1319
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: so far this year over three hundred yards for the

1320
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: first time this in this past Sunday. And if you're

1321
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 1: playing fantasy, there actually is a favorable schedule coming up.

1322
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: They play the Raiders this weekend and then they play

1323
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and two, you know, the Chiefs. Chiefs are

1324
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 1: a fantastic team obviously, but from a fantasy perspective, those

1325
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: are two defenses that have been a bit vulnerable to

1326
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: get the path against the past so far. And what's encouraging,

1327
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 1: and once again the video is rolling over, it is

1328
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: that they've got a one, number one wide receiver and

1329
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton. And what you fear sometimes is that

1330
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: when a quarterback is replaced, a number one wide receiver

1331
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: is not play leer number one wide receiver anymore because

1332
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 1: of his quarterback. And I think that what we've seen

1333
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: is t Y Hilton has remained exactly that with Jacoby Brissette. Yes,

1334
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: the Colts are better with Andrew Luck, or we're better

1335
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: with Andrew Luck, but Jacoby has filled in very capably

1336
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: and they have to feel really good about the leadership

1337
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: and he has provided not just through the first threeks

1338
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: of the season, but really over the past, you know,

1339
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: two and a half years since he arrived. There yea

1340
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: one more quarterback question for you before we get to

1341
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: the fantasy questions. And you know, the Bills are a

1342
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: couple of weeks away from a trip to Nashville to

1343
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: play the Titans. Titans play in Atlanta this week. Is

1344
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: it time for the Tennessee Titans to maybe give Ryan

1345
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: Tannehill a chance and sit down, Marcus Mariota, what do

1346
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: you make that? What do you make of that? Interesting conversation?

1347
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: And I know that Mike Rabel has been pretty resistant

1348
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: to that idea up to this point. And you know,

1349
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 1: it's unique because it's not like the Giants turning the

1350
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:31,439
Speaker 1: Dingo Jones where there was promise and upside. It's Ryan

1351
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: Tannehill was drafted even earlier than Marcus Mariota, like is

1352
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 1: in a previous year, several a few years. Actually, he

1353
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: was two thousand and twelve for his draft class, Mariota

1354
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: being two thousand and fifteen, and it's like, you know

1355
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: what you're getting at a Ryan Tannehill. He is a

1356
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: backup level quarterback. The problem is Marcus Mariota might be

1357
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 1: that as well right now, based off of how he

1358
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: has performed. I'd be surprised if the Titans make that shift.

1359
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: Obviously it's not gonna happen this weekend, but it could

1360
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: happen at some point going forward. I think the question

1361
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: I have is, you know, what what teams want to

1362
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: do offensively does not always jive with what they are

1363
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: able to do. But I think we know that the

1364
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:18,920
Speaker 1: Titans at their core want to play offense like they

1365
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: did in Week one, which was run the football with

1366
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: incredible efficiency, control the middle of the field in the

1367
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 1: passing game, which they did with Lanny Walker having a big,

1368
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 1: big day against the Browns, and be opportunistic. And Marcus

1369
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: Mariota as a passer has not been that over either

1370
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,440
Speaker 1: of the last two weeks, and maybe the Titans say

1371
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: what we need to do is just get ourselves on

1372
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: track and the quarterback play will be less I would say,

1373
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 1: noteworthy if we play the kind of game that we

1374
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: want to play. All right, feel it's time just rattle

1375
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: off a few questions about fantasy football from our listeners.

1376
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: Here's one of the first ones. I'll give it to

1377
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 1: you from Jack. He says, Terry McLaurin or Chris god

1378
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: When this week for wide receiver number two. I think

1379
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm leaned towards Chris Godwin. Butts just putting this on

1380
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 1: the radar here. Chris Godwin did not practice today because

1381
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 1: of a hip issue. Don't know the severity of it

1382
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: or anything like that as of yet, but I would

1383
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: lean towards Godwin even in a not great matchup against

1384
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,719
Speaker 1: the Rams. That game is being played in Los Angeles.

1385
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 1: But you gotta be able to feel really good if

1386
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: you added Terry McLaurin or your roster this offseason. Draft

1387
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 1: said this season because you didn't. You did definitely didn't. Well,

1388
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: you may have drafted him maybe if you either a

1389
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 1: big Ohio State Buckeyes fan or a big Redskins fan. Otherwise,

1390
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:38,719
Speaker 1: he was not very much on the draft radar Field

1391
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 1: Gates O. So the fantasy focused football podcasts, We've got

1392
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: fantasy questions for him, sending in by a Twitter from Cody.

1393
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: Should I start mark Ingram over Chris Carson in my

1394
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:50,640
Speaker 1: RB two position after Carson keeps fumbling the rock? What

1395
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: do you think? Yeah, a good good spot to be

1396
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: in there. I'd lean towards Ingram, but I don't feel

1397
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 1: strongly one way or the other. You know, Pete Carroll

1398
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: very power of positivity type coach. I wouldn't be surprised

1399
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: if rather than taking the approach of saying Chris Carson,

1400
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: you're done, we're benching you, he says we need you.

1401
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 1: It's almost like when a coach has a kicker miss

1402
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: a big kick in the middle of the of a

1403
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: game and says, rather than tell him that kicker, you know,

1404
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,600
Speaker 1: sort of chiding him for missing a big kick, he

1405
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 1: encourages him and says, Hey, you didn't get this one,

1406
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: but we need you on the next one. I think

1407
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: that could be the case with Chris Carson, but I

1408
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 1: would lean towards mark Ingram all right from Rookie, says

1409
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: Mike Williams Valdez Scandling or Calvin Ridley for wide receiver

1410
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: number two this week, Mike Williams, you also Scandling or Ridley? Yeah,

1411
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: I think I'll lean towards Mike Williams because the way

1412
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: the targets have been trending for the Chargers wide out,

1413
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 1: and they're playing the Dolphins, who obviously have not had

1414
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,759
Speaker 1: much success stopping anybody so far this season. How brilliant

1415
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,679
Speaker 1: is Keenan Allen been by the way for the Chargers.

1416
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 1: So looking forward to that passing game getting going. All

1417
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: those players solid in their own right, But for right now,

1418
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 1: I think that Mike Williams dring in the matchup and

1419
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 1: the target chair should be the guy. Question on Twitter

1420
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: from JB simple one, start Philip Rivers or Jacoby Brissett. Yeah,

1421
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers because the matchup is just so good. You know,

1422
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 1: the Dolphins we just said, struggling right now and in

1423
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: the rebuilding year, So I would go with Philip Rivers. Yeah,

1424
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: even though the Cults are going to play the Raiders,

1425
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: or the Raiders are more stout defensively, you think that

1426
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: it's it's sort of damning with faint praise, but yes,

1427
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 1: yes they are, all right, all right, last, all right,

1428
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 1: give me, let me give you one more. Somebody drafted

1429
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: sae Quon Barkley, like a lot of people did. Does

1430
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 1: that mean the season's over? What do you do with

1431
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: him now? Yeah? I think if you roster Saquon Barkley,

1432
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: if you are sitting pretty at three and zero, then

1433
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 1: you can consider hanging tight right now and hoping that

1434
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,679
Speaker 1: it's a four week injury and not an eight week injury.

1435
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 1: If you are one and two or oh and three,

1436
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 1: then you have to trade Saquon Barkley right away and

1437
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 1: get the best you can. And if you can get

1438
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 1: somebody that's going to be a weekly starter for you,

1439
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: then you're in a great spot. Maybe what you do

1440
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 1: is you target the top four teams in your league

1441
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 1: and see if they have a guy that is not

1442
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: necessarily their number one running back won't be their number

1443
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 1: two running back, And see if you can acquire that player,

1444
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 1: because if you can and that player can start for you,

1445
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: it might be enough to help salvage your season. At

1446
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 1: three great fantasy football device, Field, we love talking to

1447
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: you every Wednesday. We'll see you again next Wednesday. In one.

1448
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 1: Thank you all right, guys, take care, Thanks. Field Yates

1449
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,640
Speaker 1: the host of the Fantasy Focused Football podcast. He asked me,

1450
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: an NFL insider can handle your fantasy questions and real

1451
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 1: life football questions as well. We love having him on there.

1452
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 1: Good questions, that's good stuff. Yeah, the questions were good,

1453
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:41,720
Speaker 1: and also his insights into what's going on with these

1454
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 1: other because of his insight into fantasy also gives him

1455
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:47,240
Speaker 1: some insight as to how these players are being used

1456
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 1: in the matchups coming down and why some quarterbacks like

1457
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette is a huge surprise to him. And I'm

1458
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 1: nothing against my boy Frank Reich. He knows how to

1459
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 1: handle good quarterbacks, yes he really does, and not so

1460
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks. You know. Field early on talked about how

1461
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: ESPN he had a conversation saying, if we did a

1462
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: college game day for the NFL. ESPN would think about

1463
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 1: coming up here. They had a show just a couple

1464
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 1: of years ago. I recalled Ron Jaworski and his crew

1465
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: and South Palantonio Hannah Storm right out here in the

1466
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: parking lot, right. Don't they do that anymore? I don't

1467
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 1: watch a lot of pregame shows because I'm usually working, right,

1468
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 1: you're working. I kind of remember bounced around is Yeah.

1469
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea. I don't know. I

1470
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: don't know whether it would help their numbers. Maybe it would,

1471
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'll tell you what. It's the

1495
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 1: Have you had ethnic food on the planet? Have you

1496
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:54,760

1499
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,439

1500
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 1: maybe one of the worst things you can call somebody.

1501
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:07,599

01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 1: We got great shows coming. We got a lot of people.

1518
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 1: Stop him by all right, A lot of people Sunday,

1519
01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 1: a lot of people coming here for the game. Obviously,

1520
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 1: Bills in New England and Wills Foundation is ready to

1521
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,479

1529
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:28,920
Speaker 1: youth health and wellness initiatives in Western New York. So

1530
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 1: let's gone up Sunday, Bills Patriot. It is about the game,

1531
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:33,880
Speaker 1: no matter what. There's a lot going on around the game,

1532
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:35,839
Speaker 1: even the weekend before the game. It is about kickoff

1533
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 1: one o'clock. Bills in a Wingland. Sean McDermott knows that

1534
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 1: mcdermot's got his team out there practicing right now. He

1535
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 1: knows what the Patriots have done so far in the

1536
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,600
Speaker 1: first three games. How good they are defensively? And the

1537
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 1: head coach of the Bills was asked today, what makes

1538
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: this Patriots defense so good? Here's this response. Yeah, I

1539
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 1: mean they're led by a great coach. I think that's

1540
01:15:55,080 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 1: that's that's an obvious Ryan. They've got really good players

1541
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: that play well. They're smart, they move around, they trade positions. Um,

1542
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:11,200
Speaker 1: you know when Avich does it good. I mean he

1543
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:14,560
Speaker 1: fits right into what they do. Collin's Jamie's back and

1544
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 1: doing a lot being very disruptive. He plays on the ball,

1545
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: he plays off the ball, so they have continuity as well. Um,

1546
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 1: And I think that's key. And I mean their numbers

1547
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 1: are are staggering, really almost unheard of staggering. He's right.

1548
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: Chase Winovich is one of their draft picks, not you know,

1549
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: a middle of late rounder, but he plays a lot

1550
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 1: for that defense, number fifty, and he plays well. He's

1551
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 1: an impressive character there. He's like Rob Ninkovitz used to be.

1552
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:44,719
Speaker 1: It's just one of those guys. It's well versed, smart,

1553
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 1: never out of the position. Um, not yet anyway. Yeah,

1554
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 1: It's just it's one of those defenses where they it's

1555
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: hard to pick out a household name. Uh we and

1556
01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 1: we hear in Buffalo are probably more familiar with them

1557
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:00,880
Speaker 1: than anybody else because we kind of keep an eye

1558
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 1: on those guys, some of these other teams that come

1559
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 1: out and go, who are these guys? And this is

1560
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: a typical year like that because their ranked number one

1561
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: across the board in all these defensive categories and you know, Okay,

1562
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:17,600
Speaker 1: Steph Gilmore and who you know. But they've got a

1563
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:20,680
Speaker 1: lot of guys that can really go, and they're well disciplined,

1564
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: they're well coached. And I said this early in the week,

1565
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:27,759
Speaker 1: and I reiterated here. You beat them by not making mistakes.

1566
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 1: That's what they force you to do. And that's really

1567
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 1: hard when you're playing hard and trying to give one

1568
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 1: hundred percent effort to do it without getting caught over committing.

1569
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes teams will do that, they'll make a mistake. Certainly,

1570
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: the Bills cannot turn the football over on Sunday and

1571
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 1: hope to win it. That's something they've got to fix.

1572
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: It's obvious. Gotten more than eighteen nine responses to our

1573
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,799
Speaker 1: Twitter poll so far. Today, Win or lose, does Sunday's

1574
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 1: game define the twenty nineteen Bill season? I don't think

1575
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 1: it does. They're seventy five percent of the season remaining

1576
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 1: after Sunday. It's a huge game. It will, it will

1577
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 1: change the conversation either way it goes. But does it

1578
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: define the Bill season so far? Let's don't you think,

1579
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 1: as I said, eight hundred votes in on Twitter, eighty

1580
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:13,680
Speaker 1: three eighty three percent of you say no, it will not.

1581
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 1: Seventeen percent of you say yes, it will give us

1582
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: a call to discuss or sending a tweet for the

1583
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: tweet sheet the phone numbers eight three five fifty, toll

1584
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,639
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

1585
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: We've got room for you there, and the tweet sheet

1586
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,840
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers

1587
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:32,200
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bill. Steve want's take a stroll down

1588
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: the tweet sheets, which, all right, here we go. From Max,

1589
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 1: he says, absolutely not. They could still lose this game

1590
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 1: but win the Super Bowl. If that happened, who would

1591
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 1: care what they lost this regular season to the game

1592
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 1: to the Patriots. It's a nice litmus test, however, and

1593
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: from Big Multi says, yes it does. It means we

1594
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:50,679
Speaker 1: can beat we can beat average teams, but not elite teams.

1595
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 1: We may get enough wins to get in the playoffs

1596
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: by beating the average, but if we can't beat an

1597
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 1: elite team, what's the point we must win this game?

1598
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 1: What's the point? The point is the playoffs? What do

1599
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: you mean? What's the point? The point is getting too

1600
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: ten eleven, twelve wins and getting in the playoffs. I

1601
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 1: don't know if you can't beating an elite team. By

1602
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: the way, I need to see that list of elite teams.

1603
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 1: Who are they? The Patriots team that has played great

1604
01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 1: beating three winless teams. Are they elite? Are they elite?

1605
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm talking history here, I'm talking this year, three weeks.

1606
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: Are they elite? Is anybody elite? I would say they're

1607
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: They're the team you gotta beat because they've beaten three

1608
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 1: bad football teams soundly the way they should have. The

1609
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs I would consider an elite football team.

1610
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 1: The New Orleans Saints I would consider an elite football team. Yeah,

1611
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 1: but you're leaning out history here. I'm saying history doesn't matter. Well,

1612
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of it. Yeah, no question, because

1613
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:44,560
Speaker 1: you can look at great players who have been in

1614
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: the league for a while and say, yeah, you're gonna

1615
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 1: get this level and expect this level of play from them,

1616
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 1: and those guys like Drew Brees, he elevates, they play

1617
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: around him although you know he's out. Ben Roethlisberger's out,

1618
01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 1: Nick Foles is out, Eli Manning's been inched. Goodness gracious,

1619
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, all of a sudden, it's like, okay, they're

1620
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 1: kind of elite bright right right, it's a great wide

1621
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:12,160
Speaker 1: open it is, it is. It's ay. Every year is different.

1622
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons this year is being

1623
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 1: a little different is you've got some key guys who've

1624
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: been there for a long time who are not Twitter

1625
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: poll question today win or lose to Sunday's game. Define

1626
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: the Bills twenty nineteen season tweet cheat from team any

1627
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:28,640
Speaker 1: twenty two No, it's too long a season for one

1628
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 1: game to define a team. On a more important note,

1629
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: Singletary is not practicing again. That leaves gore and little

1630
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 1: confidence in TJ. Yeldon. I thought Marcus Murphy should have

1631
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:39,640
Speaker 1: made the team, really hoping they bring him back, but

1632
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 1: I think they need to bring in another running back.

1633
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:45,120
Speaker 1: People are bailing on TJ. Yelden. I understand, but I

1634
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 1: think it's a little early. I think it is a

1635
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: little early. And by the way, I'm not rulling out

1636
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 1: Singletary for Sunday's game yet either, nor are the Bills.

1637
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:55,640
Speaker 1: We'll get the official injury report after practice today, but

1638
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:57,600
Speaker 1: beforehand they said he would not practice. That's right. I

1639
01:20:57,600 --> 01:20:59,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't bail on Singletary yet. I gotta read this next

1640
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:02,879
Speaker 1: week because she agrees with me, not at all exactly

1641
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:05,760
Speaker 1: what Steve said yesterday. There is less to lose if

1642
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 1: we lose, but a lot more to gain if we win.

1643
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 1: The problem is when people put quotes around your yeah, yeah,

1644
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: you're like that. You got to try. The hard part

1645
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: of that is articulating what more we get if we win?

1646
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 1: Please go on A lot of it is a is intangible,

1647
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: all intangible. It's one win, right exactly. It's a win

1648
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 1: against a good team, and I think one of think

1649
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 1: about this. You want to see a downside of that. Okay,

1650
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:30,800
Speaker 1: now everybody knows you're not just beating good teams. You

1651
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots. Now you get a target on you.

1652
01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 1: Now it's gonna be harder to beat Tennessee, Tennessee and Cleveland.

1653
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:41,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be harder to beat the Dolphins. You know

1654
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 1: all those teams. Look, it's better to win. Nobody's arguing that.

1655
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 1: I just don't know that this win does much more

1656
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 1: for you than a win any win. Yes it's New England.

1657
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 1: Yes they're on top of the division. Yes they've lived

1658
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 1: on top of the division for a couple of decades.

1659
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:58,519
Speaker 1: But I don't think that history matters this week, right,

1660
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 1: It's about this season. Certainly you gain a level of

1661
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 1: respect around the country from all the other teams and

1662
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 1: players in and meet and all that, But but they

1663
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:07,040
Speaker 1: ain't lining up with you on next Sunday. You know.

1664
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not gonna help you, but it certainly

1665
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:14,439
Speaker 1: is real. It is a real thing. But like I said,

1666
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:18,679
Speaker 1: that define your season? Yeah, call free er from Claude

1667
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:21,800
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. Go ahead, Claude, you're on the air with this. Hey,

1668
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 1: how are you guys doing the day? Doing great? Great? Yeah?

1669
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 1: My team is it won't if we lose, it won't

1670
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 1: define this season. Uh, because the Bills they got a

1671
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 1: good group of guys defense playing well. And and my

1672
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 1: my last thing, I want to say you you need

1673
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:42,760
Speaker 1: to make a T shirt enough, Claude, if they win,

1674
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 1: does it define the Buffalo season? Oh? That'd be great. Oh,

1675
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:50,200
Speaker 1: I know it'd be great. Does it define the season? Though, yes,

1676
01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:52,600
Speaker 1: it will define to see good with the confidence that

1677
01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:57,759
Speaker 1: we could be anybody could We got And thanks Claude,

1678
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:00,639
Speaker 1: I appreciate that's interesting. No, it doesn't find the season

1679
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: if we lose, but yes it does if we win.

1680
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:07,280
Speaker 1: That's kind of the Yeah, that's the direction we're talking,

1681
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 1: trying to talk about what the difference is between a

1682
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 1: win and laws. I don't know if it's a big

1683
01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 1: difference that is a can't lose proposition. We can lose

1684
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 1: will be all right, But if we win, it's interesting

1685
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 1: cloud and I think there are people to feel that way,

1686
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: which brings up the question. One more from the tweet

1687
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 1: sheet from Josh, does win or lose to Sunday's game

1688
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:30,400
Speaker 1: to find the Bills season? Josh says yes, to me,

1689
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:33,600
Speaker 1: three and oz start means little, as evidenced by the

1690
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 1: five and one start in two thousand and eight, which

1691
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:37,920
Speaker 1: ended in seven to nine defeating the Patriots. He rights

1692
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:40,600
Speaker 1: would be a defining moment for Josh Allen as a

1693
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: second year quarterback. It will mean not only our defense

1694
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:47,639
Speaker 1: is great, but our offense is on a positive trajectory. Well,

1695
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:49,800
Speaker 1: it depends on what it looks like. Yeah, you know,

1696
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 1: a three to nothing win wouldn't say too much about

1697
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 1: your offense. You know, people say, oh, they can't score

1698
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 1: seventeen points and beat the Patriots. You know what, this

1699
01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: week they might be able to They might be no

1700
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 1: idea how I think it's gonna be. Yeah, I think

1701
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots will be held below their season average and

1702
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: points by this defense. No question. It's by far the

1703
01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 1: best defense they faced, and that will have an effect

1704
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 1: on their offense and their ability to move the ball.

1705
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a four quarter game. It's like I said,

1706
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 1: that goes for both sides of the ball. Everybody says,

1707
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, you can't play you can't

1708
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 1: have mistakes and beat the Patriots. That also goes on

1709
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 1: the defensive side. You can't leave a guy uncovered once

1710
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 1: because that guy I'll find him. You know, Tom Brady

1711
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: will hit that guy with a pass. You can't miss

1712
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 1: an assignment in the run game. You can't miss you know,

1713
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 1: you can't do that. That goes for the offensive side

1714
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:40,640
Speaker 1: as well as the I mean it goes for the

1715
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: defensive side as well. Is the offensive side, which everybody

1716
01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:45,680
Speaker 1: knows you can't turn the ball over and win. So

1717
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:50,559
Speaker 1: a lot up in the air in this game, no question.

1718
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it's not a season defining game. But

1719
01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 1: man oh man, there's something extra in it, no question

1720
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:00,680
Speaker 1: about it. You know what got me? This is a

1721
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:02,839
Speaker 1: topic for the show when we talked about it yesterday

1722
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 1: and now into today. Everyone's in a while, people will

1723
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: write or talk about a statement win that was a

1724
01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:11,719
Speaker 1: statement win by this team or that team, And I've

1725
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 1: always said, what do you mean a statement win? What

1726
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 1: did you say other than put a notch in the

1727
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 1: w column? You know what I mean? I don't think

1728
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 1: that's an accurate way to look at it, a real

1729
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 1: way to look at it. I don't think there's such

1730
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 1: a thing as a statement win. This win wins more

1731
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 1: than that. You know what, at the end of the year,

1732
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: they don't, well, you got eight wins and two more

1733
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 1: statement wins, so you got ten wins. No right, it doesn't.

1734
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:34,560
Speaker 1: There's no right. It's not able to say that's a

1735
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 1: statement when they made a statement with them. No, And

1736
01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:38,840
Speaker 1: I think that's when people get a hung up on

1737
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 1: with a game like this this week. It's a big game,

1738
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:44,559
Speaker 1: it's an important game, it's it's the Patriots. There's history,

1739
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm trying not to dwell on the history

1740
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 1: because it's miserable from the Buffalo standpoint. But yes, they

1741
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: need to win. They should win, and if they don't win,

1742
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 1: the season's not defined it. If they do win, it's great,

1743
01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 1: but it doesn't define the season. That's my British. I

1744
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 1: think I'm on it with you. I get it. And

1745
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 1: that's why you never hear coaches and players talking about

1746
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 1: statement wins. This is it's because they know. I think

1747
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: statement means that everybody found something out about a team

1748
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: they didn't know. That's kind of the statement. It's a

1749
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: revelatory thing for people outside the building. But the coach

1750
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 1: and players, they know who they are, they know how

1751
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:22,680
Speaker 1: good they can be, so those statements are meaningless for them.

1752
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 1: I'll break here. Kyle Peco's coming up momentarily, he's coming

1753
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 1: off to practice field. We'll hear from Josh Allen as

1754
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 1: the show moves along. Want to hear more from you

1755
01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: about this game, win or lose. Does this game against

1756
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:34,760
Speaker 1: Angleen define the Bill season? Let us know what you think.

1757
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 1: Steve and I coming back. One Bill's Live presented by

1758
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 1: Klada Health. Coming here from our Seneca studio and this

1759
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome Back One Bill's Live John

1760
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 1: Murphy with Steve Tansker. On this Wednesday afternoon, we talked

1761
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,759
Speaker 1: about the good show we have coming up tomorrow and Friday,

1762
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 1: Kyle Peck goes and the joint is coming off the

1763
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:04,080
Speaker 1: practice field. Your thoughts, does this a win or lose?

1764
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:06,240
Speaker 1: A loss? On Sunday? Does it to find the Bill season?

1765
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:08,679
Speaker 1: What do you think? To the phones, Jacob and Buffalo

1766
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 1: Hello Jacob, you're on the air. Yeah, Hi guys, thanks

1767
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 1: for taking my call. Love your show. Thank you. You

1768
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 1: kind of sold the words out of my mouth because

1769
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 1: really it's like, I don't really believe in the statement win.

1770
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:21,960
Speaker 1: Like just like you guys said, they don't mean anymore

1771
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: than normal wins. But you know, it's the Paths and

1772
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:29,080
Speaker 1: they always beat it time. It will be definitely be

1773
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:32,679
Speaker 1: something to feel good about, no question. Yeah. And people

1774
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:34,960
Speaker 1: should feel good about it. The Bill should feel good

1775
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 1: about it if they come out of this with a win.

1776
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 1: No make let me ask you this, Jacob, would this

1777
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 1: win mean more if you beat the Rams? It would

1778
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:48,600
Speaker 1: mean more simply like we were talking about in the

1779
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 1: standings because it's a division game and it's at home,

1780
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 1: since you know, those are some of the most important

1781
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:56,559
Speaker 1: games you should win every season, so in the standings

1782
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:58,720
Speaker 1: that might mean more. But the Rams are also a

1783
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:00,599
Speaker 1: great team. If we were to beat the Rams, I'd

1784
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:02,679
Speaker 1: be just about as psyched as if we beat the Pets,

1785
01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:04,800
Speaker 1: because those are both Super Bowl teams. It would just

1786
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:07,040
Speaker 1: mean that people finally have to sort of take the

1787
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:10,720
Speaker 1: team seriously. You know, right, I got you. I think

1788
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:12,680
Speaker 1: people are starting to take the Bill seriously. And I

1789
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,640
Speaker 1: know the almost default and Jacob, you can get in

1790
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 1: on this. The default Buffalo position is we're getting ignored.

1791
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:21,720
Speaker 1: National media is not paying attention. You know what, I

1792
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 1: don't think that's been accurate at all the season. I

1793
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: think that you know, they played twice in New York

1794
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:28,479
Speaker 1: and so the New York media saw them. If you

1795
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 1: care about that sort of thing, which I don't, I

1796
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:32,640
Speaker 1: think you're it's kind of a weak argument so far

1797
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 1: this year to say, well, the Bills are getting ignored

1798
01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 1: by the national media. No they're not. They're not. What

1799
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,719
Speaker 1: do you think, Jacob, I s I sort of agree

1800
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 1: with you. It's just like I know, it's sort of

1801
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:45,600
Speaker 1: like the Bills fan fallback that we don't get the

1802
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:48,719
Speaker 1: respect we just you know, everyone agrees that the Bills

1803
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: secondary and our defense is amazing. I feel like the

1804
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 1: biggest thing that people like to sort of debate on

1805
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:57,360
Speaker 1: is whether or not Josh Allen is actually a good

1806
01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:59,599
Speaker 1: quarterback or not. I feel like that's something that will

1807
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 1: come out more if we beat the Pets, because, as

1808
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,080
Speaker 1: we all know, the Pets seem to take away your

1809
01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 1: best strengths on offense. With defense, We've has been playing

1810
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:10,760
Speaker 1: amazing this year. So I feel like everyone knows that

1811
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense is great and they respect that because

1812
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, as we've listened to other head coaches talk about,

1813
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, they always respect the Bill's defense. Even Belichick

1814
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 1: says that, you know, and I know it be it'll

1815
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 1: be more if like Josh Allen can sort of beat

1816
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 1: the Pets defense, that'll be more of like a you know, okay, yeah,

1817
01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:32,719
Speaker 1: So we can feel better about this now because honestly, personally,

1818
01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:35,640
Speaker 1: the first three weeks have been amazing, but those have

1819
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:38,400
Speaker 1: all games we should win. This is a game where

1820
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:40,120
Speaker 1: it's a coin toss, and if we can win it,

1821
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:41,800
Speaker 1: then I feel like, well, I'll be sitting a little

1822
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 1: bit more comfortably in our assessment of this team as

1823
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:48,080
Speaker 1: a legitimate playoff contender. Thanks, let's go to Jack and

1824
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo with thoughts on this Jack, go ahead, you're on

1825
01:29:50,120 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 1: the air with us. Hey, guys, how you doing okay? Good?

1826
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:57,680
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say, you know, as long as

1827
01:29:57,720 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 1: the game can be close, I say, and we can

1828
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 1: walk away with confidence after this game. They'll be huge

1829
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 1: for the players because I think that they probably hear

1830
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 1: some of the noise that even though they're three and

1831
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 1: o right now, that the teams they beat weren't that good.

1832
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:16,960
Speaker 1: So as long as we don't get blown out, I

1833
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:19,479
Speaker 1: think it's a wine. I gotta stop you right there.

1834
01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:21,479
Speaker 1: With all due respect, I think you're you're dead wrong.

1835
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think the players would

1836
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 1: accept that. I don't. I wouldn't feel any better if

1837
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 1: they lose a close game. Yeah, the Bills are free

1838
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:33,280
Speaker 1: and O against three teams that have had a bad start,

1839
01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:36,840
Speaker 1: so as the team they're playing, the Patriots against teams

1840
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 1: with worse record. No, I don't think as long as

1841
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 1: it's close, I'm happy, or I don't think the players

1842
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:43,479
Speaker 1: will be happy. What do you think see. No, don't

1843
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:46,479
Speaker 1: underestimate how much the players expect to be successful, even

1844
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 1: if it is on a team that everybody outside the

1845
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:53,120
Speaker 1: building or in around fandom thinks that they should be

1846
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,080
Speaker 1: really excited about being able to beat that team. They

1847
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:57,840
Speaker 1: expect to beat. The Bills will expect to win the

1848
01:30:58,000 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 1: game on Sunday when they go out there, and they

1849
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:03,479
Speaker 1: will be disappointed if they do not for sure. Yeah,

1850
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,479
Speaker 1: So don't that the guys in that room expect to

1851
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:10,439
Speaker 1: win just like the Patriots do, right, And I think

1852
01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean if they do win, the confidence boost that

1853
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:16,040
Speaker 1: it will give to the team is great. Now does

1854
01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:17,760
Speaker 1: that mean that they're going to win every game after that?

1855
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:20,400
Speaker 1: Of course not. But you know, if we go four

1856
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 1: and oh and it sends shockwaves through the league, you know,

1857
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:27,600
Speaker 1: it might carry over and who knows what you can

1858
01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:30,479
Speaker 1: look back to this game and say that we can

1859
01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:32,760
Speaker 1: do it, you know, So maybe that's what. Yeah, maybe

1860
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 1: some people the consciousness will raise because they beat a

1861
01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:37,360
Speaker 1: team like the Patriots. Thanks Jack, I appreciate it. One

1862
01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:39,599
Speaker 1: thing I want to say before, I don't have when

1863
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 1: how close we were to the break, But I don't

1864
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:48,519
Speaker 1: know the thing talking about the attention your team gets that. Certainly.

1865
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:50,640
Speaker 1: There are exceptions, like in New York, where the New

1866
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:53,320
Speaker 1: York media market drives kind of drive some things. But

1867
01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:57,800
Speaker 1: here's why your team gets attention. It's because it has

1868
01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:02,080
Speaker 1: an established star. The Green Bay Packers get their attention

1869
01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 1: because they've got a guy number twelve, Aaron Rodgers, who

1870
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:08,919
Speaker 1: is a star. He is a super Bowl winning quarterback.

1871
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 1: He is a great player. Other teams get a lot

1872
01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:14,439
Speaker 1: of attention because of the players on their team or

1873
01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 1: because of their coaches. The guys in Seattle with Russell Wilson,

1874
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:19,280
Speaker 1: who has won a Super Bowl, and their coach Pete

1875
01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 1: Carrollou's had some success. The Rams, their head coach has

1876
01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:26,720
Speaker 1: Sean McVay, is the star that drives them. When you

1877
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:30,040
Speaker 1: go around the league, look at the Denver Broncles. Okay,

1878
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 1: Von Miller, but their defense is not that good this year.

1879
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not getting stars. Are players who are

1880
01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:40,880
Speaker 1: playing great. The Kansas City Chiefs, it's Pat Mahomes. It's

1881
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 1: not so much. And I know people some of it

1882
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:45,719
Speaker 1: is driven by the media markets, like in the size

1883
01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 1: of New York and Dallas, the Cowboys, but it is

1884
01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 1: a star driven league, not a market driven league. When

1885
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:55,559
Speaker 1: your teams play great and you've got stars on them,

1886
01:32:56,320 --> 01:33:00,800
Speaker 1: you get attention. And the Bills are too early in

1887
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:05,120
Speaker 1: this process of this, you know, this sudden, this success

1888
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:08,080
Speaker 1: to have people guys on their team to people recognize

1889
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:10,120
Speaker 1: and when they see them they're like, oh, yeah, that's

1890
01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:13,360
Speaker 1: a buffalo that Josh Allen, Yeah, it's that kind of thing.

1891
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:17,439
Speaker 1: So when these guy, this team and this group are

1892
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 1: successful on such a regular basis, to get people out

1893
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,080
Speaker 1: there who see them every week and who watched them

1894
01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:24,840
Speaker 1: and who have watched them be good, that's when you

1895
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:26,840
Speaker 1: get more attention. It has less to do with where

1896
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:28,960
Speaker 1: you're from as it does do with how your level

1897
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:31,640
Speaker 1: of play and sustained success got another already Come here

1898
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:33,439

01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:38,760
Speaker 1: Yesterday a roster moved. The Bills added defensive tackle Kyle

1918
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:41,759
Speaker 1: Peco to the roster. Second year player who has previous

1919

Speaker 1: Buffalo practice squad for over a year. He is now

1921

1922
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:50,759

Speaker 1: dates soon. No final decisions have been made. He's been

1925
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:58,280
Speaker 1: holding out. He has to report by the end of

1926
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 1: November to play this year and crew credit for the season.

1927
01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:03,840
Speaker 1: Without Gordon, the Chargers have one win and two losses,

1928
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:05,519
Speaker 1: but it looked like he's getting set to come back

1929
01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:09,800
Speaker 1: in Jaguar's cornerback Jalen Ramsey not is planning on being

1930

Speaker 1: Seahawks will get a fifth round draft pick next year

1935

Speaker 1: doing cards, you're running reps. Yeah, No, it's definitely different

1963
01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:42,960
Speaker 1: from for me at least my standpoint. You know, last

1964
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:46,800
Speaker 1: week was what was you know, getting the offense ready

1965
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 1: for the week and for our opponent, and this week

1966
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:52,080
Speaker 1: it's I'm kind of it's my turn to get ready

1967
01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:54,240
Speaker 1: for the week. So, you know, definitely tables return, but

1968
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm excited to get out there. What were you getting

1969
01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:58,840
Speaker 1: from Harrison Phillips as he watched and kind of worked

1970
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 1: with you for the most So obviously I'll be nos.

1971
01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 1: Three and he's got experienced at both so, um, he's

1972
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:07,759
Speaker 1: out there kind of helping me read read the keys

1973
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 1: and uh, you know what their tendencies are and what

1974
01:37:10,120 --> 01:37:12,200
Speaker 1: they like to do. So I'm he's just out there

1975
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:14,760
Speaker 1: helping as much as he can. It doesn't even need

1976
01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:17,120
Speaker 1: downtime with his knee. And then I'm surprised he's upright,

1977
01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:19,600
Speaker 1: He's standing there. He wasn't running around or anything, but

1978
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:21,639
Speaker 1: he looked like he was fairly active. Now, my guys,

1979
01:37:21,960 --> 01:37:24,200
Speaker 1: he wants to be out there. You know, injuries are

1980
01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 1: tough and to happen, but Harry is is a special

1981
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 1: guy and he's he's going to be out there as

1982
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 1: much as he can no matter what your position is.

1983
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:32,120
Speaker 1: Kind of the thankless job at at front four? Right?

1984
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,000
Speaker 1: Can you talk about that, how you approaching and what

1985
01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:36,720
Speaker 1: your mindset is to play that the defensive tackle spot. Yeah,

1986
01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, I personally enjoy it this. Uh, like you said,

1987
01:37:40,120 --> 01:37:44,720
Speaker 1: you thankless, but you know we free up the linebackers

1988
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:47,720
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's not very glorious, but uh

1989
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:49,800
Speaker 1: it's fun for me. I get to get in there.

1990
01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:52,040
Speaker 1: That's where you know, it starts up front for us

1991
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:54,320
Speaker 1: of the D line. You know we're tack defense, though,

1992
01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:56,559
Speaker 1: I just like getting after it against the offense. How

1993
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:58,960
Speaker 1: do you get the opponents the other offensive line to

1994
01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:00,880
Speaker 1: pay attention to you? Do you have to be quick

1995
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,560
Speaker 1: or strong? All of the above? How do you? I

1996
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:06,360
Speaker 1: think definitely all of the above. Quickness helps. I think

1997
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:08,680
Speaker 1: at my position, you know, I'm they say I'm a

1998
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:11,439
Speaker 1: smaller D tackle, So I feel like my quickness and

1999
01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 1: speed off the balls as a help for me. What

2000
01:38:15,320 --> 01:38:18,000
Speaker 1: kind of an important game? Division game? Coming in for

2001
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:21,559
Speaker 1: your first time, and also it's the defending World champions,

2002
01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:23,600
Speaker 1: but it is a home game. We talked about you

2003
01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:26,360
Speaker 1: were there for the environment last week. It'll be it'll

2004
01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 1: be every bit of that this week. It's kind of

2005
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:30,280
Speaker 1: got to be a plus for you personally to come

2006
01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:32,360
Speaker 1: back on a week where it's a big important game,

2007
01:38:32,400 --> 01:38:35,439
Speaker 1: plus you're at home. Yeah, no, definitely, I'm super excited

2008
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:38,960
Speaker 1: about it. Like you said, the Patriots division division game,

2009
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 1: and uh, we gotta get after a man, bring it

2010
01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:43,519
Speaker 1: to him, and uh we got to defend our turf.

2011
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:45,080
Speaker 1: So you know it's gonna be a big game. With

2012
01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:47,479
Speaker 1: Bill's defensive tackle com Peco. He's been in the practice

2013
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 1: quad here for more than a year now on the

2014
01:38:49,080 --> 01:38:51,439
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster, and a couple of years ago

2015
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:53,240
Speaker 1: you came out of Argon State. You just had one

2016
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:56,200
Speaker 1: year of playing at Argon State. Huh how did you

2017
01:38:56,280 --> 01:38:57,880
Speaker 1: manage to make the roster out there in Denver? A

2018
01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:01,559
Speaker 1: couple Uh, shoot, I had a pretty good senior year,

2019
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:04,160
Speaker 1: my one year I had and uh I brought after

2020
01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:07,000
Speaker 1: the draft. Actually the fifth round I got called saying

2021
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,080
Speaker 1: that they have a spot open and in the seventh

2022
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:12,040
Speaker 1: round they were going to draft me or a punter.

2023
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:14,479
Speaker 1: On seventh round came and they ended up drafting a punter.

2024
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:18,560
Speaker 1: But right after the draft, I'd gotten calls from a

2025
01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:20,200
Speaker 1: couple of teams and Denver was the most you know,

2026
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:22,960
Speaker 1: aggressive to get me in I wonder why they called

2027
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:25,320
Speaker 1: guys in the middle of the draft saying hey, Wed

2028
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:27,439
Speaker 1: and then they don't. I mean, don't you feel like

2029
01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 1: not taking the call when they Hey, you said you're

2030
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:32,200
Speaker 1: gonna draft me and you didn't? For sure? I mean,

2031
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:34,600
Speaker 1: it's all about opportunity. That's what has been for me.

2032
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:38,240
Speaker 1: My career has been about opportunity. So I had to

2033
01:39:38,280 --> 01:39:40,879
Speaker 1: take everyone. I had seven games played over two seasons

2034
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:43,000
Speaker 1: with the Broncos. Right would you get out of those?

2035
01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm not a big sess guy. I don't know that stands.

2036
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:49,720
Speaker 1: But what did you learn? Oh? Yeah, No, I had

2037
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:51,240
Speaker 1: a great I mean we were one of the top

2038
01:39:51,320 --> 01:39:54,400
Speaker 1: defenses the year I played. So I learned a lot

2039
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:56,360
Speaker 1: from the guys that were there. Derek Wolf, you know,

2040
01:39:56,479 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 1: Von Miller, We had de Marcus Ware come in. I

2041
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:01,439
Speaker 1: was very fortunate to play with my cousin dometop Eco.

2042
01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:03,800
Speaker 1: Learned a lot from him. Man, he's a you know,

2043
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 1: thirteen year vent so very cool experience. But uh, I

2044
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:08,280
Speaker 1: think I grow a lot. What's it mean? And we

2045
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:10,200
Speaker 1: we've talked about a lot on our show, where you've

2046
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:12,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys on this defense. Most of

2047
01:40:12,320 --> 01:40:15,280
Speaker 1: the starters they've played in this defense for a while now,

2048
01:40:15,439 --> 01:40:18,200
Speaker 1: and certainly the Patriots that way this week. What's that

2049
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:20,599
Speaker 1: mean for for your guys? And now you being here

2050
01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:22,120
Speaker 1: in the practice squad all last year, you kind of

2051
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:25,559
Speaker 1: stepping in, you kind of know what what's the score is? Definitely. Yeah.

2052
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:28,040
Speaker 1: Having these guys that we have, you know, like the

2053
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:32,960
Speaker 1: Stars and the Jordan Phillips Um, you know, Lorenzo Alexander. Uh,

2054
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:35,720
Speaker 1: it's it's great to pick their brains and you know,

2055
01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:38,840
Speaker 1: get their view of kind of how to how to

2056
01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:42,679
Speaker 1: read offenses and you know their work ethic and I's

2057
01:40:42,760 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 1: just a blessing to be able to work with them.

2058
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:47,280
Speaker 1: We're with the Kyle Peco, Bill's defensive lineman, just added

2059
01:40:47,320 --> 01:40:50,679
Speaker 1: to the active roster yesterday. Um, this happened this summer,

2060
01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:53,000
Speaker 1: very unfortunate. First of all, you've been married for four

2061
01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 1: or five years, right, five years? Yea, yeah, but this

2062
01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:58,200
Speaker 1: summer your wife Juliana right, tell us that stories you

2063
01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 1: got sick. Yeah. So there. Our daughter was born um

2064
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,439
Speaker 1: April first. In the end of the month, she felt

2065
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 1: a little lump on her neck. Obviously didn't think it

2066
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:09,680
Speaker 1: was anything too serious, but she asked to doctor about it,

2067
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 1: and doctor said, wait, wait a bit, wait a month,

2068
01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:15,360
Speaker 1: see if it grows or if it gets smaller. We waited,

2069
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:18,639
Speaker 1: and uh, she had went up ended up getting rechecked

2070
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 1: and it didn't get bigger, but it didn't get smaller.

2071
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,400
Speaker 1: So the doctor you know, ordered a test on it,

2072
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:28,160
Speaker 1: uh to get a biopsy and uh the end of June,

2073
01:41:28,960 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 1: results came back and it ended up being hotchings on

2074
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 1: foma and stage three and uh yeah, just that month

2075
01:41:36,479 --> 01:41:41,360

01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:22,400
Speaker 1: and the course that she needed and me as well

2112
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:24,080
Speaker 1: to be here and do what I have to do

2113
01:43:24,200 --> 01:43:26,840
Speaker 1: for them. You know, that story, as unfortunate as it

2114
01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:29,559
Speaker 1: was and still is, I guess, but it was kind

2115
01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 1: of a cool story at the early part of training camp,

2116
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:34,960
Speaker 1: how your your teammates responded, how your teammates and coaches

2117
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:37,320
Speaker 1: handled it right, A little bit about that when you

2118
01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:39,080
Speaker 1: finally did arrive at Saint John Fisher. I mean, this

2119
01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:41,519
Speaker 1: whole group has been super supportive, from the coach of

2120
01:43:41,560 --> 01:43:43,479
Speaker 1: staff to you know, the guys in the office and

2121
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:47,559
Speaker 1: all the players. I was a little nervous coming back

2122
01:43:47,600 --> 01:43:50,080
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to be away, but you know,

2123
01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:52,960
Speaker 1: ultimately these guys are my family as well, so they

2124
01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:56,280
Speaker 1: open arms, you know, supported me through it all. All

2125
01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:59,000
Speaker 1: my family, even Bill's mafia, you know, was showing nothing

2126
01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:01,960
Speaker 1: but loving prayers for us. Uh. It's real special. So

2127
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:05,200
Speaker 1: this this thing we talk about culture all the time.

2128
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:07,760
Speaker 1: You're kind of a tangible proof of that when they

2129
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:11,920
Speaker 1: came through for you, Like, does it mean anything more

2130
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,599
Speaker 1: to you walking out the tunnel getting a chance maybe

2134
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:25,519
Speaker 1: For sure. Yeah, I mean, I mean walking out any tunnel,

2135
01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:27,880
Speaker 1: being able to play is very special. But yeah, from

2136
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:29,680
Speaker 1: the support I've gotten, you know, I feel like, you know,

2142
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:45,639

2143
01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:47,240
Speaker 1: going on here now? I think it's I mean, yeah,

2144
01:44:47,280 --> 01:44:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean I feel a lot closer to these guys

2145
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 1: right now, just because of the I think the situation

2146
01:44:52,200 --> 01:44:54,760
Speaker 1: I went through and how they responded. Um, but uh,

2147

Speaker 1: you know, I got love for for everyone. It's cool

01:45:16,680 --> 01:45:18,599
Speaker 1: love her. Get on the active roster. You can afford

2158
01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:23,439
Speaker 1: a plane ticket, Yeah, exactly. The Kyle, good luck to you.

2159
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:25,880
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on with gratulations on the fifty

2160
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:27,720
Speaker 1: three now and we look forward to watching your play.

2161
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:30,320
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Kyle Peco the Bills, a defensive

2162
01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:33,320
Speaker 1: tackle just elevated to the active roster. Bills quarterback Josh

2163
01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:36,519
Speaker 1: Allen talked to the media today after practice and answered

2164
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:39,200
Speaker 1: a few questions, including now have any more balanced offense?

2165
01:45:39,479 --> 01:45:42,760
Speaker 1: And the Buffalo defense is helping them this year. We've

2166
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:45,960
Speaker 1: been doing a good job of playing complimentary football. Um.

2167
01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:48,880
Speaker 1: You know something that coach big Dermott preaches to us

2168
01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 1: all the time, you know, making sure that we're doing

2169
01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:52,559
Speaker 1: the right things on the offensive side of the football.

2170
01:45:52,880 --> 01:45:55,599
Speaker 1: The defensive size thing care of business, and the special

2171
01:45:55,640 --> 01:45:58,720
Speaker 1: team's game is kind of dictating field positions. So um,

2172
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:00,759
Speaker 1: you know, when we do our job right on offense,

2173
01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:02,679
Speaker 1: it just makes it that much easier for the defense.

2174
01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:05,080
Speaker 1: And they they've been playing lights out the last few games,

2175
01:46:05,120 --> 01:46:08,120
Speaker 1: and you know, we really appreciate how hard they work, um,

2176
01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:09,760
Speaker 1: and how well they've been coached and you know how

2177
01:46:09,800 --> 01:46:12,280
Speaker 1: well they execute. So, um, we got to be good

2178
01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:16,000
Speaker 1: on our end two three games. But when you guys

2179
01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:18,240
Speaker 1: are top ten offense, top ten, can at you want

2180
01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:20,599
Speaker 1: to go to four teams? I could say that right

2181
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:23,439
Speaker 1: now if you're in that neighborhood at the end of

2182
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:26,080
Speaker 1: the year, I mean that you'd be that you make

2183
01:46:26,160 --> 01:46:30,280
Speaker 1: for a successful season. Yeah. Um, again, you know, we

2184
01:46:30,600 --> 01:46:31,760
Speaker 1: got to do a lot of things, a lot more

2185
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:34,960
Speaker 1: things better on the office side of the ball, myself included, um,

2186
01:46:35,320 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 1: especially myself as far as ball you know, boll security,

2187
01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:40,160
Speaker 1: making sure the ball hasn't put in harm's way as

2188
01:46:40,240 --> 01:46:42,479
Speaker 1: much as as it has been. So there's a lot

2189
01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:44,800
Speaker 1: of things that we can learn from the last few games. Obviously, Um,

2190
01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:46,559
Speaker 1: we want to build on the success that we've had,

2191
01:46:46,880 --> 01:46:48,960
Speaker 1: but also we want to make sure that we take

2192
01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:51,160
Speaker 1: count for the things that we're not doing right and

2193
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:54,160
Speaker 1: try to fix those as well. Finish that where the

2194
01:46:54,200 --> 01:46:57,600
Speaker 1: margin for error is about again this one, when you

2195
01:46:57,720 --> 01:46:59,800
Speaker 1: look at them and they haven't given up a tough

2196
01:47:01,240 --> 01:47:03,680
Speaker 1: you know to this point, what do you see well,

2197
01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean watching them on film they're always sound fundamentally, Um,

2198
01:47:07,880 --> 01:47:10,240
Speaker 1: they understand what type of covers that they're in. They

2199
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 1: are very well disciplined, you know, um by one of

2200
01:47:13,400 --> 01:47:16,160
Speaker 1: the greatest coaches of all time too. So we understand

2201
01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:18,040
Speaker 1: it's no small task to go against these guys no

2202
01:47:18,120 --> 01:47:20,080
Speaker 1: matter who you are. So we got to make sure

2203
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:21,840
Speaker 1: that we're good, um on our end of the ball

2204
01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:24,240
Speaker 1: as far as you know, taking care of the football, UM,

2205
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:26,560
Speaker 1: with our blocking schemes, making sure that we're going to

2206
01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:29,600
Speaker 1: the right guys. Um, and you know running routes. You know,

2207
01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:32,600
Speaker 1: their dbs have been really great. So um, you know,

2208
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:33,960
Speaker 1: we got to do good job of winning one on

2209
01:47:34,120 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 1: one on one matchups and uh, you know, go out

2210
01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:40,080
Speaker 1: there and try to expect the best we can finis

2211
01:47:40,080 --> 01:47:41,640
Speaker 1: to go. Just how hard is it to strict that

2212
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:45,519
Speaker 1: balance for many the Rooks and your talents stake o reverses,

2213
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:49,720
Speaker 1: protecting the football and maybe being a little bit more Yeah. Um,

2214
01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:52,600
Speaker 1: obviously the competitor and me wants to extend plays and

2215
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:55,360
Speaker 1: and try to fit the ball into small windows. Um,

2216
01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:58,800
Speaker 1: but understanding you know, Black coach mcdimmick, preach is playing

2217
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 1: the complimentary football game and allowing our defense to go

2218
01:48:01,240 --> 01:48:04,960
Speaker 1: out there and enforcing teams to you know, have long

2219
01:48:05,080 --> 01:48:07,600
Speaker 1: drives against our defense, um, and not giving them a

2220
01:48:07,640 --> 01:48:10,240
Speaker 1: short field. So you know, when we've done that, we've

2221
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:12,320
Speaker 1: had a lot of success. So UM, and I think

2222
01:48:12,479 --> 01:48:14,280
Speaker 1: that that's really what the NFL comes down to, is

2223
01:48:14,360 --> 01:48:17,599
Speaker 1: taking care of the football, scoring when you get your opportunity. Um.

2224
01:48:18,200 --> 01:48:19,960
Speaker 1: You know, and the team that we're playing against that

2225
01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:22,559
Speaker 1: they know all that all too well, so we had

2226
01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:25,080
Speaker 1: to make sure that, you know, um, we're taking care

2227
01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:28,360
Speaker 1: of our into Josh Coole has fourteen catches in the

2228
01:48:28,439 --> 01:48:31,680
Speaker 1: first half of the first three, Shild's only three and

2229
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:34,640
Speaker 1: the second is there's something that defenses are showing a

2230
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:37,720
Speaker 1: little different the second half. Maybe you're struggling to kind

2231
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:40,639
Speaker 1: of find it. They're getting my offense. UM, I don't

2232
01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:44,800
Speaker 1: think so. UM. You know, there's not really a very

2233
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:47,920
Speaker 1: concerned effort to get him the ball. You know, I

2234
01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 1: like to try to get the ball around and whatever,

2235
01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, whoever is open, you know, within our given

2236
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:56,479
Speaker 1: concepts and whatever the defense is uh kind of throwing

2237
01:48:56,520 --> 01:48:58,600
Speaker 1: at us. Um. But he's been you know, he's been

2238
01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:00,400
Speaker 1: awesome for us as far as just finding windows to

2239
01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:02,479
Speaker 1: get open um. You know, he had a really big

2240
01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:05,640
Speaker 1: route in that fourth quarter on our last drive. He

2241
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:07,400
Speaker 1: found a way to get open um, you know, and

2242
01:49:08,200 --> 01:49:09,760
Speaker 1: you know the way he communicates and the way he

2243
01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:11,519
Speaker 1: kind of goes about his business during the week and

2244
01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:14,280
Speaker 1: how hard he practices. Um, you know, I don't think

2245
01:49:14,320 --> 01:49:17,960
Speaker 1: that's going to be trouble moving forward. Um. But again,

2246
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:21,040
Speaker 1: it's not like they're doing anything crazy on defense where

2247
01:49:21,080 --> 01:49:24,479
Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to get to him. So UM, you know,

2248
01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:25,920
Speaker 1: we got to get our playmakers the ball, and he's

2249
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:30,800
Speaker 1: one of them, so we'll work on that. Do you

2250
01:49:30,880 --> 01:49:33,000
Speaker 1: see that you're going up against the best? Do you

2251
01:49:33,080 --> 01:49:39,240
Speaker 1: see this as kind of a measuring stick to see? Well?

2252
01:49:39,240 --> 01:49:41,760
Speaker 1: I think every week, um, really is a measuring stick.

2253
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:44,240
Speaker 1: And you know, we're not trying to approach us any

2254
01:49:44,280 --> 01:49:46,960
Speaker 1: differently than we would any game. It's the most important

2255
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:48,960
Speaker 1: game that we're playing right now because it's the next one.

2256
01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 1: So we're going in with that mindset, and you know,

2257
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:54,639
Speaker 1: we understand what this game kind of means to fans

2258
01:49:54,720 --> 01:49:57,840
Speaker 1: and people around the league, but in house, you know,

2259
01:49:58,360 --> 01:49:59,800
Speaker 1: we're just trying to go one to know every week

2260
01:50:00,160 --> 01:50:02,600
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who we're playing, so but we know that

2261
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:05,680
Speaker 1: this team prepares well. Um, you know, they're three and

2262
01:50:05,760 --> 01:50:07,320
Speaker 1: o for a reason. They got you know, one of

2263
01:50:07,320 --> 01:50:09,040
Speaker 1: the greatest to ever do it, you know at their

2264
01:50:09,120 --> 01:50:13,040
Speaker 1: quarterback position and a head coach. So um, yeah, we

2265
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:16,080
Speaker 1: gotta be fundamentally sound. We got to understand what we're

2266
01:50:16,120 --> 01:50:18,320
Speaker 1: trying to do, um, and really key in on on

2267
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:20,800
Speaker 1: ways to try to you know, get a job done

2268
01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:24,679
Speaker 1: on Sunday. So what do you think this game gains

2269
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:26,720
Speaker 1: to the things you mentioned in candidate? You guys kind

2270
01:50:26,720 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 1: of feel bad? What what are you feeling? Well, obviously,

2271
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:32,320
Speaker 1: I think teams are on the league. They look at

2272
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:35,439
Speaker 1: the Patriots and they want the long term success that

2273
01:50:35,479 --> 01:50:37,880
Speaker 1: they've had over there in New England. Um, you know,

2274
01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:42,439
Speaker 1: playoffs every you know, every year. So um, I think

2275
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:46,200
Speaker 1: especially this fan base being in division, Um, how much

2276
01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:49,200
Speaker 1: passion this fan base has. I think it means a

2277
01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:51,639
Speaker 1: lot to them. But like I said in house, we're

2278
01:50:51,640 --> 01:50:53,479
Speaker 1: folcused on going one and every week, doesn't matter who

2279
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:59,439
Speaker 1: we're playing. Probably a quarterback like top writing three of them.

2280
01:50:59,720 --> 01:51:02,240
Speaker 1: It is there maybe one thing that you admire about

2281
01:51:02,280 --> 01:51:04,080
Speaker 1: him more than some of his other traits that you

2282
01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:08,439
Speaker 1: could try to Um. I mean I've said this before.

2283
01:51:08,479 --> 01:51:10,200
Speaker 1: I've been learning a lot from him, you know, and

2284
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:12,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't even know it. Just as far as when

2285
01:51:12,720 --> 01:51:14,799
Speaker 1: I was a young kid, just seeing how he handled himself,

2286
01:51:14,920 --> 01:51:18,599
Speaker 1: you know, in interviews, in conferences, and how he handled

2287
01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:21,400
Speaker 1: losses and how he handled wins. Um. You know, off

2288
01:51:21,439 --> 01:51:23,160
Speaker 1: the field, he seems like he has a great amount

2289
01:51:23,160 --> 01:51:26,160
Speaker 1: of respect from his teammates and everybody that's in contact

2290
01:51:26,240 --> 01:51:28,800
Speaker 1: with them. So um, you know, I've got nothing bad

2291
01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:29,960
Speaker 1: to say about the guy. You know, he was one

2292
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:32,080
Speaker 1: of my favorite quarterbacks growing up, and it's a little

2293
01:51:32,120 --> 01:51:35,599
Speaker 1: surreal to be playing against him. Um. You know, he's

2294
01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:38,720
Speaker 1: he's up there in the age department, but he's been

2295
01:51:38,760 --> 01:51:40,240
Speaker 1: doing it for a long time now for a reason,

2296
01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:42,160
Speaker 1: and he's, uh, you know, I definitely think he's the

2297
01:51:42,160 --> 01:51:47,200
Speaker 1: best to do it. To see obviously his season, Yeah,

2298
01:51:47,280 --> 01:51:50,040
Speaker 1: it's really to um, you know, a guy like that

2299
01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:52,559
Speaker 1: who works his tail off, who cares so much about

2300
01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:55,720
Speaker 1: the game of football. Um, you know, it hurts. It

2301
01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:57,479
Speaker 1: hurts our guys in the locker room. I think, you know,

2302
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:00,400
Speaker 1: we all feel the same way towards it. But at

2303
01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:02,080
Speaker 1: the same time, we're praying for him. We have no

2304
01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:04,360
Speaker 1: doubt that he's gonna, you know, be in the weight

2305
01:52:04,439 --> 01:52:07,760
Speaker 1: room still regardless of whatever outcomes that he has. You know,

2306
01:52:07,840 --> 01:52:11,320
Speaker 1: he went to visit Oshi Children's Hospital while he just

2307
01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:13,800
Speaker 1: suffered torn acl just so it speaks volumes about the

2308
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:15,760
Speaker 1: character that he has. You know, he's very selfless and

2309
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:17,720
Speaker 1: that's what he kind of was to this team. You know,

2310
01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:19,360
Speaker 1: he just wanted to help the team and whatever way

2311
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:22,200
Speaker 1: he can. So, Um, you know, next year when he

2312
01:52:22,240 --> 01:52:23,800
Speaker 1: gets back, we have no doubt that he'll be ready

2313
01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:30,160
Speaker 1: to go. Nature, how challenging is it? You mentioned how

2314
01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:32,880
Speaker 1: you viewed Tom Brady and the Conques, how you were,

2315
01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, kind of awe. How challenging is it to

2316
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 1: look at the Patriots? Is just another opponent knowing that

2317
01:52:39,160 --> 01:52:42,000
Speaker 1: you're going up against a guy like Brady and Belichick

2318
01:52:42,040 --> 01:52:44,280
Speaker 1: at all? The consider Well, I don't really think it's

2319
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:47,519
Speaker 1: challenging at all. Um, you know. The only challenging part

2320
01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 1: I remember going back to last year when we were

2321
01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:52,400
Speaker 1: on defense and they were out there. He was like

2322
01:52:52,880 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 1: watching him was something I tried not to do, you know,

2323
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:57,840
Speaker 1: because I want to focus on what we're doing. But um,

2324
01:52:58,040 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: you know, it's not challenge at all when when I'm

2325
01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:01,120
Speaker 1: out in the field, we're going to get their defense

2326
01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:03,120
Speaker 1: and we're trying to take care of our you know,

2327
01:53:03,200 --> 01:53:07,040
Speaker 1: our responsibilities on that end. So UM, I don't think

2328
01:53:07,040 --> 01:53:08,320
Speaker 1: it's hard at all. You know, we're gonna have a

2329
01:53:08,360 --> 01:53:10,640
Speaker 1: good game plan going into it. Um, try to go

2330
01:53:10,680 --> 01:53:13,400
Speaker 1: out and execute. Part of the overall mindsets We'll talked

2331
01:53:13,400 --> 01:53:17,720
Speaker 1: about being calm in key situations were games maybe part

2332
01:53:17,720 --> 01:53:20,639
Speaker 1: of the process of mature. There's an NFL quarterback when

2333
01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 1: you're going into a game like this and all the

2334
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:25,320
Speaker 1: hype that's surrounded, like tuning that out. Is that part

2335
01:53:25,360 --> 01:53:28,240
Speaker 1: of the overall process. I think for some guys that

2336
01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:31,240
Speaker 1: can be. Um, I think for us, I think the

2337
01:53:31,280 --> 01:53:33,360
Speaker 1: mindset that we have, I think it's a little different,

2338
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:36,320
Speaker 1: just how coach Debel talks to us, how we kind

2339
01:53:36,320 --> 01:53:38,439
Speaker 1: of you know, commands the room, and how he lets

2340
01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:40,920
Speaker 1: us know how he wants things to get done. So um,

2341
01:53:41,080 --> 01:53:44,879
Speaker 1: we're very goal oriented and you know, we're self driven obviously,

2342
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:47,360
Speaker 1: and UM, you know, I trust our guys on our

2343
01:53:47,360 --> 01:53:49,080
Speaker 1: side of the football as well as the other side

2344
01:53:49,080 --> 01:53:51,000
Speaker 1: of the football. So UM, like I said, we just

2345
01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:52,360
Speaker 1: gotta go out there. We got to execute and put

2346
01:53:52,400 --> 01:54:02,320
Speaker 1: our best foot forward. Brandy obviously happy already. No, Um,

2347
01:54:03,600 --> 01:54:05,599
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, it comes down to complimentary

2348
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:07,760
Speaker 1: football and something that the Patriots know all too well.

2349
01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:10,120
Speaker 1: It's how they've been winning for so long. You know,

2350
01:54:10,360 --> 01:54:15,160
Speaker 1: they understand that taking care of the football field position. Um,

2351
01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:17,559
Speaker 1: you know, like things like I'm third down in red

2352
01:54:17,640 --> 01:54:19,000
Speaker 1: zone and when they get the ball in the end zone.

2353
01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:21,680
Speaker 1: Those are huge factors to win in football games. And

2354
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:24,080
Speaker 1: they've just been so smart about it for for so

2355
01:54:24,240 --> 01:54:27,000
Speaker 1: long because they've had the right pieces there. So um,

2356
01:54:27,640 --> 01:54:29,439
Speaker 1: you know, we're trying to do the same thing here.

2357
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:31,680
Speaker 1: He reached out to your buddy, Kyle, I went after

2358
01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:34,880
Speaker 1: his favorite. Yeah, I talked to him yesterday. Um, you know,

2359
01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:36,600
Speaker 1: it's so proud of him and what he's been able

2360
01:54:36,640 --> 01:54:38,280
Speaker 1: to do in the road that he's kind of been on.

2361
01:54:39,080 --> 01:54:41,120
Speaker 1: I saw his Instagram post and just I kind of

2362
01:54:41,160 --> 01:54:43,480
Speaker 1: get the chills thinking about it. He was at the

2363
01:54:43,560 --> 01:54:46,200
Speaker 1: Cardinal Stadium last year watching Christian Kirk is one of

2364
01:54:46,240 --> 01:54:49,080
Speaker 1: his best buddies, and then he was facing off against

2365
01:54:49,120 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 1: him this past Sunday, and you know, in his hometown.

2366
01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:53,640
Speaker 1: To go back there and get a win. Um, you know,

2367
01:54:53,720 --> 01:54:55,400
Speaker 1: it's that's what stories and dreams are made out of.

2368
01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:58,080
Speaker 1: Josh Ammond talking to the Buffalo media just moment to

2369
01:54:58,120 --> 01:54:59,560
Speaker 1: go here at one Bills Drive. A couple of things

2370
01:54:59,600 --> 01:55:01,200
Speaker 1: he said and and discussed with you before we go

2371
01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:04,200
Speaker 1: to break and he kind of the top of our show,

2372
01:55:04,320 --> 01:55:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, is this uh what does this game mean? Right?

2373
01:55:07,880 --> 01:55:10,400
Speaker 1: Is it the defining moment of the bill season? He

2374
01:55:10,640 --> 01:55:13,600
Speaker 1: was asked, is this game of measuring stick? And he said, no,

2375
01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:15,720
Speaker 1: more than any other game, which I love to hear

2376
01:55:15,840 --> 01:55:17,920
Speaker 1: him say that. But the other thing I found interesting

2377
01:55:18,080 --> 01:55:22,000
Speaker 1: was talking about Tom Brady. He said, I've learned a

2378
01:55:22,040 --> 01:55:23,920
Speaker 1: lot from him and he doesn't even know it. Yeah,

2379
01:55:24,040 --> 01:55:25,760
Speaker 1: that's cool. I mean, I like the fact that he

2380
01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:27,960
Speaker 1: said I was a fan growing up. I've watched him,

2381
01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:31,080
Speaker 1: I've watched him in interviews other stuff. Yeah, I thought

2382
01:55:31,120 --> 01:55:32,720
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool to hear that from Jock and I

2383
01:55:33,080 --> 01:55:35,200
Speaker 1: there's no doubt as a sign of respecting Tom Brady's

2384
01:55:35,240 --> 01:55:38,200
Speaker 1: one of those one of the few guys, maybe the

2385
01:55:38,360 --> 01:55:40,960
Speaker 1: only guy, one of a handful of guys over the

2386
01:55:41,120 --> 01:55:44,040
Speaker 1: history of the game that actually has a chance to

2387
01:55:44,200 --> 01:55:48,200
Speaker 1: compete against young guys he inspired to play the game

2388
01:55:48,240 --> 01:55:50,120
Speaker 1: in the first place. Yeah, you know what I mean,

2389
01:55:50,240 --> 01:55:52,960
Speaker 1: It's like Tiger Woods syndrome, right, Tiger's playing against an

2390
01:55:53,080 --> 01:55:55,920
Speaker 1: entire generation of golfers and young and the tour players

2391
01:55:56,480 --> 01:55:58,240
Speaker 1: who took up the game because they watched him on

2392
01:55:58,280 --> 01:56:02,280
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon the year two thousand. Right now, you know,

2393
01:56:02,560 --> 01:56:05,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has been playing the game so long. He's

2394
01:56:05,520 --> 01:56:07,840
Speaker 1: got guys like Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, all these you know,

2395
01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:11,640
Speaker 1: all these guys Daniel Jones who grew up watching him

2396
01:56:11,680 --> 01:56:14,520
Speaker 1: go to Super Bowls and win him. Um, it's rare

2397
01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:19,360
Speaker 1: that a guy has that happened to him, where he's

2398
01:56:19,400 --> 01:56:24,320
Speaker 1: playing against his own legacy. That's that's in this sport.

2399
01:56:24,480 --> 01:56:28,280
Speaker 1: It's almost unprecedented, right doesn't almost unprecedented because of the

2400
01:56:28,800 --> 01:56:31,000
Speaker 1: game grinds you out too fast for guys to grow

2401
01:56:31,120 --> 01:56:34,520
Speaker 1: up and play against you. Yeah, pretty cool. Yeah, All

2402
01:56:34,800 --> 01:56:36,360
Speaker 1: We've got more coming up. We're gonna take more of

Speaker 1: another addition to Coffee with the Bills, presented by Tim

2441
01:58:38,920 --> 01:58:42,080
Speaker 1: Hortons and Lee. I know or I understand that coffee

2442
01:58:42,160 --> 01:58:44,800
Speaker 1: is a part of your pregame ritual. Can you share

2443
01:58:44,880 --> 01:58:46,760
Speaker 1: with the fans what it is you do on game

2444
01:58:46,840 --> 01:58:50,400
Speaker 1: day that involves coffee? Yeah? So before every game, I

2445
01:58:50,520 --> 01:58:53,400
Speaker 1: just walk around the field and drink cup off, sit

2446
01:58:53,480 --> 01:58:56,480
Speaker 1: down on the bench for a minute, just you know,

2447
01:58:56,600 --> 01:59:00,240
Speaker 1: and enjoy the moment at this point. You know, I've

2448
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:02,080
Speaker 1: played in a lot of NFL football game yep. But

2449
01:59:02,280 --> 01:59:03,760
Speaker 1: at the same time, I try to make sure that

2450
01:59:03,760 --> 01:59:05,360
Speaker 1: I enjoy each and every one of them as if

2451
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:08,720
Speaker 1: it was my first. So I think Bill's fans from

2452
01:59:08,760 --> 01:59:11,200
Speaker 1: your first stint here have a pretty good handle on

2453
01:59:11,640 --> 01:59:13,480
Speaker 1: who you are as a player and the type of

2454
01:59:13,520 --> 01:59:15,400
Speaker 1: style if you go out on the field with. But

2455
01:59:15,520 --> 01:59:19,400
Speaker 1: they're still learning about those two rookies in your room, Sweeney,

2456
01:59:19,760 --> 01:59:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, and Knocks. So I wanted to have a

2457
01:59:22,120 --> 01:59:24,320
Speaker 1: little fun with you on this. So if you had

2458
01:59:24,440 --> 01:59:27,440
Speaker 1: to guess which one of those two is more gullible,

2459
01:59:27,520 --> 01:59:28,960
Speaker 1: who would who would you be able to pull something

2460
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:31,920
Speaker 1: over on easier? Which one? Oh Tommy for sure, I'm why.

2461
01:59:32,160 --> 01:59:34,000
Speaker 1: I think Tommy looks up to me a little more

2462
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 1: than Dawson does. Uh. You know, Dawson's got his you know,

2463
01:59:39,040 --> 01:59:42,040
Speaker 1: curly hair, and you know he's mister athlete and and

2464
01:59:42,160 --> 01:59:45,360
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Tommy's a little more like me, just

2465
01:59:45,920 --> 01:59:48,400
Speaker 1: just a tough, hard nosed dude out there, you know,

2466
01:59:48,560 --> 01:59:52,360
Speaker 1: fighting for a job, right, so we have the same agents. Um,

2467
01:59:53,120 --> 01:59:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, he's the later round pick gun deal Lucille

2468
01:59:56,280 --> 01:59:58,960
Speaker 1: then yeah, he I think he he he wouldn't mind

2469
01:59:59,040 --> 02:00:01,200
Speaker 1: being Lee Smith not years from now. So I mean

2470
02:00:01,240 --> 02:00:02,880
Speaker 1: I should probably have to go with Tommy on that one.

2471
02:00:02,920 --> 02:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Who would you guess as a bigger mama's Dawson? He's

2472
02:00:06,680 --> 02:00:10,880
Speaker 1: from the South Southern Boys. Yeah, and he's a little

2473
02:00:10,880 --> 02:00:14,320
Speaker 1: softer than Tommy? Okay, Um, not on the football field. Uh.

2474
02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:17,080
Speaker 1: I've been super pumpished by these two, these two puppies

2475
02:00:17,080 --> 02:00:19,320
Speaker 1: in my room. There they've been, they've been grown men

2476
02:00:19,400 --> 02:00:21,600
Speaker 1: on Sundays, and they handled themselves as true pros. But

2477
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:24,120
Speaker 1: if I had to guess who was a mama's boy

2478
02:00:24,160 --> 02:00:27,000
Speaker 1: who's a little softer, I would go with Dawson's chip

2479
02:00:27,080 --> 02:00:30,560
Speaker 1: it because of his hair to Okay, what about a

2480
02:00:30,640 --> 02:00:33,040
Speaker 1: teacher's pet? Who in that meeting room we're in the

2481
02:00:33,080 --> 02:00:35,320
Speaker 1: film room? Is is the teacher's pet? I was throwing

2482
02:00:35,360 --> 02:00:37,880
Speaker 1: his hand up like I know the answer, and Coach

2483
02:00:37,960 --> 02:00:40,840
Speaker 1: Boris I know. Yeah, I would go with um, how

2484
02:00:40,960 --> 02:00:42,760
Speaker 1: you go with Tommy on that one? Okay? Yeah? He

2485
02:00:42,920 --> 02:00:45,600
Speaker 1: tells Coach Boris sorry about ten times a day, so

2486
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:49,440
Speaker 1: he uh, coch Coach Boris's finally had to tell him

2487
02:00:49,440 --> 02:00:52,000
Speaker 1: to stop saying sorry in our meeting room. So, um,

2488
02:00:52,480 --> 02:00:56,240
Speaker 1: that's that's definitely Tommy once again. Dawson, you know, just

2489
02:00:56,480 --> 02:00:58,560
Speaker 1: sits there with his curly hair, and I'm not sure

2490
02:00:58,560 --> 02:01:00,200
Speaker 1: he knows what's going on half the time. But uh,

2491
02:01:00,560 --> 02:01:03,040
Speaker 1: but I'm just kidding once again. They're both awesome kids.

2492
02:01:03,480 --> 02:01:06,560
Speaker 1: They're both awesome men, they're grown men. But um, but

2493
02:01:06,640 --> 02:01:08,880
Speaker 1: I would go with a teacher's bad. That's Tommy, all right.

2494
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:12,760
Speaker 1: Last one who would win an eating contest a happetake here?

2495
02:01:12,800 --> 02:01:17,520
Speaker 1: Who wins that? Oh? Man me? Well no, all right,

2496
02:01:17,600 --> 02:01:20,320
Speaker 1: well that's fine. No, oh lord, I've had him over

2497
02:01:20,400 --> 02:01:22,800
Speaker 1: for dinner. Yeah, that's why I'm asking you. Did Tyler

2498
02:01:22,800 --> 02:01:26,360
Speaker 1: actually had us all over for dinner a few nights ago. So, um, Tommy,

2499
02:01:26,880 --> 02:01:29,920
Speaker 1: Tommy's kind of an old soul, held old soul there

2500

Speaker 1: will go. Um, he'll he'll, he'll surprise you a little

02:04:03,080 --> 02:04:05,600
Speaker 1: they don't want to they don't want to commit to

2558
02:04:05,680 --> 02:04:08,280
Speaker 1: a love affair with his team yet because they think

2559
02:04:08,280 --> 02:04:10,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna get left in the lurch. Okay, here we

2560
02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:12,800
Speaker 1: go from Justin, He says, I think there is such

2561
02:04:12,840 --> 02:04:14,920
Speaker 1: a thing as a statement win. If the Bills win,

2562
02:04:15,240 --> 02:04:18,879
Speaker 1: they will expose some vulnerabilities. It gives the next opposing

2563
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:22,760
Speaker 1: teams against the Pats, against the Pats something to look

2564
02:04:22,800 --> 02:04:25,960
Speaker 1: at on film, leading to more losses. Obviously, their first

2565
02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:29,000
Speaker 1: three opponents didn't give the Bills much. I'm just gonna say,

2566
02:04:29,040 --> 02:04:31,160
Speaker 1: how about the Jets or the Steelers or somebody doing

2567
02:04:31,240 --> 02:04:33,320
Speaker 1: us a favor, giving us a look at where the

2568
02:04:33,360 --> 02:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Patriots are weak. They couldn't they couldn't even line up

2569
02:04:35,880 --> 02:04:39,360
Speaker 1: and play against them. Those three teams, I don't know. Yeah, yeah,

2570
02:04:39,400 --> 02:04:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure that the Jets and the Patriots, the Jets, Steelers,

2571
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:43,640
Speaker 1: and Dolphins were sitting there going, you know what, let's

2572
02:04:43,880 --> 02:04:46,040
Speaker 1: blow this game big time. So the Bills don't get

2573
02:04:46,040 --> 02:04:49,760
Speaker 1: any help from us on their film. That is a side.

2574
02:04:50,360 --> 02:04:53,160
Speaker 1: That is a side consequence of the point in history

2575
02:04:53,200 --> 02:04:55,360
Speaker 1: we're at with the rest of the division. More interesting

2576
02:04:55,400 --> 02:04:58,840
Speaker 1: tweet here from Daniel Everyone. You know, we asked a question,

2577
02:04:58,920 --> 02:05:01,720
Speaker 1: win or lose will Sunday game defies the season? Daniel tweets,

2578
02:05:01,760 --> 02:05:06,480
Speaker 1: and everyone relax. I love that our goal is the postseason,

2579
02:05:06,600 --> 02:05:09,320
Speaker 1: not the Patriots. Yes, a win looks great and it

2580
02:05:09,640 --> 02:05:12,879
Speaker 1: is another step towards another step closer. But the important

2581
02:05:12,920 --> 02:05:15,040
Speaker 1: games this year will be the teams in our way

2582
02:05:15,120 --> 02:05:19,160
Speaker 1: to a wildcard spot. I can, I am relaxed, but

2583
02:05:19,320 --> 02:05:22,160
Speaker 1: they're all important. Every game is a chance to get

2584
02:05:22,240 --> 02:05:24,360
Speaker 1: closer to a wild card spot, not you know, not

2585
02:05:24,520 --> 02:05:28,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee or not just Cleveland or wherever. Every game you

2586
02:05:28,640 --> 02:05:30,920
Speaker 1: know what I want? What do you want? You'll get

2587
02:05:30,960 --> 02:05:34,400
Speaker 1: it when I want not only playoffs, of course, I

2588
02:05:34,560 --> 02:05:40,000
Speaker 1: want a game in the playoffs in new air of field.

2589
02:05:40,480 --> 02:05:45,600
Speaker 1: That's why I want. I want that, That's what I want. Certainly,

2590
02:05:46,040 --> 02:05:47,600
Speaker 1: it gives you a better chance to win. When you're

2591
02:05:47,600 --> 02:05:51,480
Speaker 1: at home. The conditions here will be brutal. It'll have

2592
02:05:51,600 --> 02:05:53,680
Speaker 1: something to say about it. I want a team that's

2593
02:05:53,800 --> 02:05:57,320
Speaker 1: good enough to get a bye week and get a

2594
02:05:57,400 --> 02:05:59,240
Speaker 1: game here. Once you get into the playoff, I mean,

2595
02:05:59,240 --> 02:06:01,120
Speaker 1: who knows where we're going. We don't know where the

2596
02:06:01,160 --> 02:06:03,400
Speaker 1: Patriots are going to be in four weeks, let alone

2597
02:06:04,080 --> 02:06:06,400
Speaker 1: fourteen weeks. We don't know where any of these teams

2598
02:06:06,440 --> 02:06:09,640
Speaker 1: are gonna be but down the road. If you want

2599
02:06:09,640 --> 02:06:11,200
Speaker 1: to say something that's accomplished and you can get it,

2600
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:14,720
Speaker 1: win the division, get in the playoffs, get a home

2601
02:06:14,800 --> 02:06:18,200
Speaker 1: playoff game, get a home playoff game, and then let

2602
02:06:18,520 --> 02:06:21,240
Speaker 1: then we'll see. You know, I hear people and again

2603
02:06:21,360 --> 02:06:23,520
Speaker 1: whatever you hear stuff, but people talking about, well, this

2604
02:06:23,680 --> 02:06:26,000
Speaker 1: game is not that important, but they can get you know,

2605
02:06:26,040 --> 02:06:28,160
Speaker 1: if they get nine of the next of the remaining

2606
02:06:28,240 --> 02:06:30,840
Speaker 1: thirteen and there's your twelve wins, and because they can

2607
02:06:30,920 --> 02:06:32,640
Speaker 1: do this, this this, and I'm thinking again now I'm

2608
02:06:32,680 --> 02:06:35,440
Speaker 1: back to mister every You know, it's a new league

2609
02:06:35,480 --> 02:06:37,080
Speaker 1: every week or whatever. I always say, it's a week

2610
02:06:37,160 --> 02:06:39,240
Speaker 1: to week league. It is. Yeah, I don't know. How

2611
02:06:39,280 --> 02:06:41,040
Speaker 1: do you know what the Tennessee Titans are gonna look

2612
02:06:41,040 --> 02:06:43,920
Speaker 1: like in two weeks? Let alone the change quarterbacks they

2613
02:06:43,960 --> 02:06:46,320
Speaker 1: go with Ryan Tannehill in Tennessee. We don't know that.

2614
02:06:46,680 --> 02:06:50,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know the Ravens welves. Really the Ravens

2615
02:06:50,440 --> 02:06:52,480
Speaker 1: here is an automatic loss. No, I'm not. We're not

2616
02:06:52,560 --> 02:06:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna do if the Dolphins catch lightning in a bottle

2617
02:06:54,680 --> 02:06:57,400
Speaker 1: some one of the Redskins turner. You know, all these

2618
02:06:57,440 --> 02:06:59,800
Speaker 1: teams we don't need We don't know anything about these teams.

2619
02:06:59,840 --> 02:07:01,520
Speaker 1: It's a week to week lead you don't know about

2620
02:07:01,560 --> 02:07:04,960
Speaker 1: and even if you know them, in months, they're gonna

2621
02:07:04,960 --> 02:07:07,200
Speaker 1: be something completely different, right, you know, And that's right,

2622
02:07:07,240 --> 02:07:11,040
Speaker 1: you've come around my way. Yeah, this game this week

2623
02:07:11,200 --> 02:07:13,000
Speaker 1: is is a huge game because it's the one you

2624
02:07:13,080 --> 02:07:15,480
Speaker 1: got this week and it's a division game. You win,

2625
02:07:15,680 --> 02:07:18,600
Speaker 1: and more importantly, they lose and you go up on

2626
02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:20,400
Speaker 1: the rest of the crew. You got a two game

2627
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:24,920
Speaker 1: lead on the sixth wild card spot right now. Don't

2628
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:27,680
Speaker 1: think you got to win this game. Yeah, forget about

2629
02:07:28,480 --> 02:07:32,000
Speaker 1: twelve weeks down the road, and whoever else might get

2630
02:07:32,080 --> 02:07:35,960
Speaker 1: in the way. Broncos, Raven, Steelers, Eagles all day. You know,

2631
02:07:36,440 --> 02:07:38,520
Speaker 1: win this game and you know what, and then worry

2632
02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:40,200
Speaker 1: about the Titans next week when you go down to

2633
02:07:40,320 --> 02:07:42,800
Speaker 1: Nashville and all these and I know this, here's a

2634
02:07:42,920 --> 02:07:45,360
Speaker 1: ton of Bills fans headed to Nashville for that game,

2635
02:07:46,120 --> 02:07:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, ton of them. When you look at that schedule,

2636
02:07:47,840 --> 02:07:49,200
Speaker 1: we were looking at it that an MSG. I was

2637
02:07:49,240 --> 02:07:51,720
Speaker 1: thinking about the rematch with New England. It comes up

2638
02:07:52,040 --> 02:07:54,320
Speaker 1: right before Christmas. We don't know yet whether that's a

2639
02:07:54,400 --> 02:07:57,560
Speaker 1: Saturday or Sunday game, right, the network will decide. Yeah,

2640
02:07:57,720 --> 02:07:59,600
Speaker 1: I was thinking, how about the winner of Sunday's game

2641
02:07:59,640 --> 02:08:01,960
Speaker 1: to say, we want to play you Sunday that week.

2642
02:08:02,040 --> 02:08:04,240
Speaker 1: We want to play you Saturday that week. Let's have

2643
02:08:04,400 --> 02:08:06,840
Speaker 1: something at stake in that game would be cool. I

2644
02:08:06,920 --> 02:08:09,240
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. Just throw something else sitting there,

2645
02:08:09,280 --> 02:08:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, what are you gonna do here? And here's

2646
02:08:11,040 --> 02:08:13,360
Speaker 1: the thing too, They're gonna flex the If the Bills

2647
02:08:13,440 --> 02:08:15,600
Speaker 1: keep winning like this and all this stuff keeps happening,

2648
02:08:16,240 --> 02:08:18,720
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna get flexed. Into a Monday night

2649
02:08:18,800 --> 02:08:21,560
Speaker 1: game in the second half of the season, because these

2650
02:08:21,640 --> 02:08:26,680
Speaker 1: matchups become more important than that's what they flexed into Sunday,

2651
02:08:26,680 --> 02:08:28,400
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game. They're gonna be flexed into that

2652
02:08:28,440 --> 02:08:31,840
Speaker 1: Sunday night game, and it'll happen too. You get down

2653
02:08:32,000 --> 02:08:35,800
Speaker 1: to into the deep end of the season, and like

2654
02:08:35,920 --> 02:08:40,320
Speaker 1: a game like the Philly game, the Cleveland game, certainly,

2655
02:08:41,280 --> 02:08:46,480
Speaker 1: the Denver Denver game, the Dallas Cowboy game is out

2656
02:08:46,520 --> 02:08:48,400
Speaker 1: of that question because it's a Thanksgiving game. But you

2657
02:08:48,440 --> 02:08:51,520
Speaker 1: get the Baltimore game, the Pittsburgh game, then even the

2658
02:08:51,600 --> 02:08:54,480
Speaker 1: next New England game. Certainly if the Bills beat New England.

2659
02:08:54,560 --> 02:08:58,280
Speaker 1: Here you can bet that the game on December twenty

2660
02:08:58,360 --> 02:09:00,480
Speaker 1: second of the Patriots Bills is going to be a

2661
02:09:00,560 --> 02:09:03,800
Speaker 1: night game. Well, it could be Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Yeah,

2662
02:09:03,920 --> 02:09:05,360
Speaker 1: it could. It could be either one of those. That's

2663
02:09:07,480 --> 02:09:09,920
Speaker 1: the Bills keep playing. Well, they're gonna get flexed into

2664
02:09:09,920 --> 02:09:14,040
Speaker 1: a primetime game, absolutely, okay, and you just know it's

2665
02:09:14,080 --> 02:09:16,160
Speaker 1: going to happen. Well, okay, we'll talk more about that.

2666
02:09:16,240 --> 02:09:17,640
Speaker 1: Let's let's see how there comes out. I got some

2667
02:09:17,720 --> 02:09:19,680
Speaker 1: thoughts on that. We gotta break though, we gotta get

2668
02:09:19,680 --> 02:09:21,240
Speaker 1: to the break. It's one of Bill's Live presented by

02:09:48,440 --> 02:09:50,120
Speaker 1: learned today? We learned a lot. We had a good show,

2675
02:09:50,480 --> 02:09:52,360
Speaker 1: tons of guests and a lot of people talking about

2676
02:09:52,360 --> 02:09:55,560
Speaker 1: obviously about Sunday's game, the Bills and the New England Patriots.

2677
02:09:55,600 --> 02:09:57,879
Speaker 1: We were talking about it too with our guests, including

2678
02:09:58,160 --> 02:10:01,000
Speaker 1: Mike Giardi of the NFL Network. He covers the Patriots

2679
02:10:01,120 --> 02:10:03,200
Speaker 1: normally in here this week to take a look at

2680
02:10:03,240 --> 02:10:05,480
Speaker 1: the Bills. He says, this is the best game on

2681
02:10:05,640 --> 02:10:07,520
Speaker 1: the NFL schedule here in Week four, the Bills in

2682
02:10:07,560 --> 02:10:11,440
Speaker 1: New England here in Orchard Park. I love the game

2683
02:10:11,880 --> 02:10:13,680
Speaker 1: because I love the history between the two teams. And

2684
02:10:13,680 --> 02:10:15,720
Speaker 1: I've said it for years and years and years. When

2685
02:10:15,720 --> 02:10:18,360
Speaker 1: it comes to the Bills, I love it when the

2686
02:10:18,400 --> 02:10:22,000
Speaker 1: Bills are good because that environment. And people ask me

2687
02:10:22,080 --> 02:10:23,800
Speaker 1: this all the time. They say, a lot of stadium

2688
02:10:23,800 --> 02:10:27,200
Speaker 1: you've ever been in I say twenty eleven. Ryan Fitzpatrick

2689
02:10:27,320 --> 02:10:30,120
Speaker 1: leads the comeback. Brady throws the four picks. I've never

2690
02:10:30,360 --> 02:10:32,560
Speaker 1: felt anything. I've been in Seattle, I've been in Kansas

2691
02:10:32,600 --> 02:10:35,400
Speaker 1: City playoff game, super Bowls. I've never felt sound goes

2692
02:10:35,440 --> 02:10:39,520
Speaker 1: through my chest like it did that day. Sound go

2693
02:10:39,640 --> 02:10:42,280
Speaker 1: through my chest. That's interesting. Also on the show today,

2694
02:10:42,320 --> 02:10:45,880
Speaker 1: Field Yates from ESBN, he is the national NFL reporter

2695
02:10:45,960 --> 02:10:48,640
Speaker 1: for ESBN, talked about the Buffalo defense and he says

2696
02:10:48,680 --> 02:10:50,240
Speaker 1: they could be better than they were a year ago.

2697
02:10:50,280 --> 02:10:54,880
Speaker 1: Here's Field Yates. What I've learned from the Bills is

2698
02:10:55,080 --> 02:10:58,080
Speaker 1: that nothing of the defense is good, is that it's

2699
02:10:58,240 --> 02:11:01,160
Speaker 1: stayed great. Right if the last year was outstanding and

2700
02:11:01,400 --> 02:11:04,480
Speaker 1: this year it's outstanding again. I know Turnavious White said

2701
02:11:04,520 --> 02:11:07,160
Speaker 1: after the game, Hey, I want to hear the national

2702
02:11:07,240 --> 02:11:09,560
Speaker 1: people talk about us as one of the best defenses

2703
02:11:09,560 --> 02:11:12,480
Speaker 1: in football and talk about our secondary. And he doesn't

2704
02:11:12,520 --> 02:11:15,040
Speaker 1: have to beg because people should be talking about this

2705
02:11:15,120 --> 02:11:19,080
Speaker 1: Bill secondary, Turnavius White. You know, I heard Bill Belichick

2706
02:11:19,440 --> 02:11:22,480
Speaker 1: and Sean mcderburn of the respective press conferences earlier on

2707
02:11:23,240 --> 02:11:25,360
Speaker 1: and I know Bill Belichick said, you know, Turnavious White's

2708
02:11:25,360 --> 02:11:28,000
Speaker 1: one of the best cornerbacks we face all season, and

2709
02:11:28,480 --> 02:11:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, Micah Hyde and Jordan Ployer in their third

2710
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:32,800
Speaker 1: year together, it's, you know, about as good of a

2711
02:11:32,920 --> 02:11:36,880
Speaker 1: secondary safety duos you can find in the NFL. So

2712
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:39,320
Speaker 1: what I've learned about the Bill's defense and it stayed dominant,

2713
02:11:40,480 --> 02:11:42,400
Speaker 1: They did, and they might be better and they will

2714
02:11:42,440 --> 02:11:45,240
Speaker 1: be tested. Our Twitter poll today was interesting and I

2715
02:11:45,360 --> 02:11:46,840
Speaker 1: liked the way he turned out. I like the way

2716
02:11:47,120 --> 02:11:49,880
Speaker 1: our listeners were responding to this question. The question was

2717
02:11:49,920 --> 02:11:53,080
Speaker 1: pretty simple. This game a defining game, Sunday's Game winner

2718
02:11:53,120 --> 02:11:56,600
Speaker 1: lose Bill's Patriots. Is it define the Bill's twenty nineteen season.

2719
02:11:56,720 --> 02:12:00,360
Speaker 1: Overwhelmingly our listeners and I responded said no, almost a

2720
02:12:00,400 --> 02:12:03,360
Speaker 1: thousand votes. Eighty three percent of them said no, it

2721
02:12:03,440 --> 02:12:06,560
Speaker 1: does not define this season. There's twelve games after this

2722
02:12:06,720 --> 02:12:09,360
Speaker 1: game's only seventeen percent said yes. That's that's where I

2723
02:12:09,440 --> 02:12:12,080
Speaker 1: am at. I listen to arguments for people to say, yes,

2724
02:12:12,480 --> 02:12:15,000
Speaker 1: I thought you were making that argument yesterday, Steve. Turns

2725
02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:16,920
Speaker 1: out you were not. But I think it's it doesn't

2726
02:12:16,920 --> 02:12:18,840
Speaker 1: define the season too much football. No, but it is

2727
02:12:18,880 --> 02:12:20,760
Speaker 1: a big game. Yes, it is a big game, not

2728
02:12:20,880 --> 02:12:22,920
Speaker 1: just because it's the next game on the schedule. Either

2729
02:12:22,960 --> 02:12:24,720
Speaker 1: it's a game because it's a division game against the

2730
02:12:24,760 --> 02:12:28,880
Speaker 1: world of world champion, defending world champion Patriots, a team

2731
02:12:29,000 --> 02:12:32,440
Speaker 1: that by all accounts should win the everybody thinks they're

2732
02:12:32,440 --> 02:12:38,120
Speaker 1: gonna win the division. It is a chance for Sean

2733
02:12:38,240 --> 02:12:43,800
Speaker 1: McDermott and the Buffalo Bills to have the rest of

2734
02:12:43,880 --> 02:12:47,880
Speaker 1: the football world, the NFL world, get a chance to

2735
02:12:48,040 --> 02:12:50,680
Speaker 1: validate what they have done thus far into his tenure.

2736
02:12:50,720 --> 02:12:52,520
Speaker 1: Now they're three years in and they have done a

2737
02:12:52,600 --> 02:12:54,640
Speaker 1: lot of things that a lot of people have applauded.

2738
02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:57,520
Speaker 1: But the proof is in the pudding. They've won three

2739
02:12:57,600 --> 02:13:01,760
Speaker 1: games already and this is the next opportunity to do

2740
02:13:01,840 --> 02:13:05,080
Speaker 1: that against their first real opponent who has aspirations on

2741
02:13:05,200 --> 02:13:08,000
Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl. This is not a look and

2742
02:13:08,080 --> 02:13:11,520
Speaker 1: see game for the Patriots. They're they're rolling. So this

2743
02:13:11,720 --> 02:13:14,920
Speaker 1: is a game that has positive implications if you can

2744
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:18,120
Speaker 1: win it, and certainly you're going to be bitterly disappointed

2745
02:13:18,160 --> 02:13:21,080
Speaker 1: if you lose it. But I think there's a lot

2746
02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:22,840
Speaker 1: of eyes on this game watch and see how the

2747
02:13:22,880 --> 02:13:25,320
Speaker 1: Bills measure up to this Patriot team. Now that that

2748
02:13:25,400 --> 02:13:27,240
Speaker 1: doesn't carry any weight with it because the guys in

2749
02:13:27,240 --> 02:13:29,240
Speaker 1: the locker rooms still say it, but this is going

2750
02:13:29,280 --> 02:13:31,320
Speaker 1: to be an attention grabber if they can win it. Yeah,

2751
02:13:31,360 --> 02:13:33,480
Speaker 1: I look forward to it for sure. Good show tomorrow.

2752
02:13:33,520 --> 02:13:36,120
Speaker 1: Chris Brown will join us from practice, Joe Hargan, the

2753

2754
